  1. STEP 1 OF 9

    The night before, drain the ricotta in a colander lined with cotton cloths to remove the whey.

    Prepare the Sicilian shortcrust pastry, wrap it in plastic wrap, and store it in the fridge.

    Roll out the shortcrust pastry into a thin sheet and line a greased and floured mold, removing the excess pastry.

    Cover with another layer of shortcrust pastry, seal the edges, and make small cuts on the surface.

  7. STEP 7 OF 9

    Bake in a preheated fan oven at 180°C on the first rack from the bottom for about 45 minutes.
