For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of lemon or orange zest to the ricotta filling. If you prefer a sweeter crust, add an additional tablespoon of sugar to the dough. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can cover the edges with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. The pie is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to create your own unique twist on this classic dessert.
