For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of orange zest to the ricotta filling. Draining the ricotta cheese well is crucial to prevent a soggy pie. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
