A Ricotta Pie Super Easy to Prepare

A Ricotta Pie Super Easy to Prepare

I found this ricotta pie written in a very small piece of paper in the middle of my recipes box (a box where I gather recipes from magazines, newspapers, some given by friends, and some other I find here and there). In my little note it is called cheese pie, but as ricotta is the cheese that is more present (and I often use more ricotta when I do not have enough goat cheese), it seems to me that it is more correct to call it a ricotta pie.

This simple pie is a solution for many occasions. I prepare it often when I have friends for lunch or dinner, because it goes with quite anything, spread on a piece of bread or on a cheese cracker. But I prepare it also when I have some ricotta that is not super fresh and I want to use it. And, yet, I prepare it for dinner to eat with salad.

I prepare it in individual portions, but you can also prepare a bigger one and cut slices to serve it.
