Italian Easter Pie image

Our family traditionally made this strange dessert for Easter. No crumb was ever left in the pie dish since it is a delightfully refreshing sweetness after a full meal.

Categories     Pie

Time 2h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups flour
1/2 cup oil
5 eggs
1/2-1 lb angel hair pasta, boiled, rinsed and drained
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 large orange, zest of
12 ounces maraschino cherries, cut into fourths and drained on paper towels

Steps:

  • Pie crust:.
  • Mix all crust ingredients until well blended. Roll out 3/4 of dough into circle to fit into 10 inch glass pie dish. Place in dish. Do not trim excess dough from edge of pie dish. Roll out remaining dough and slice into 12 strips. I like to use a ravioli wheel for "ruffled" edges.
  • Filling and assembly:.
  • Beat together filling ingredients except pasta until creamy and frothy.
  • Make sure pasta is well drained and cut pasta pads into bite size pieces. Place pasta into crust bottom.
  • Pour filling over pasta. Cherries, orange rind and pasta should be uniformly distributed.
  • Weave strips over top of filling "gluing " them to pie crust edges with filling liquids. Brush top edges of strips with liquids. Bring excess pie dough over ends of strips and press down to secure. Brush remaining dough with pie liquids so they will glisten when baked.
  • Place pie dish on baking sheet with sides to catch bubbling liquids. Bake at 325 degrees until inserted knife comes out clean.

This is the worst pie I have ever tasted. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This pie is not worth the effort. There are much better recipes out there.

This pie was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

I found the filling to be a bit dry, but the crust was very good.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the crust is always flaky.

I made this pie for Easter dinner and everyone loved it. The filling was rich and creamy, and the crust was perfectly golden brown.

This pie is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The ricotta filling is creamy and flavorful, and the crust is crispy and flaky.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out perfectly. It was so good that I ate two pieces in one sitting!
