In this video, you’ll see how to make ricotta pie. It’s like traditional American-style cheesecake, only lighter and less sweet, and not as dense. It’s delicious in its own right, and easy to make. The crust is like a cross between a cookie and pie crust. It’s also good with a traditional graham cracker crust. Watch the video, then get the recipe for Chef John’s Ricotta Pie. Top it with chopped candied orange zest and chocolate.
Chef John's recipe for pecan pie has the perfect blend of nuts and sticky toffee filling with a wonderfully crisp crust.
Chef John uses ricotta cheese instead of riced potatoes to make these light and tender "gnocchi" (or, actually, "gnudi") with basil and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Serve them as is, or browned in butter, or with your favorite pasta sauce.
