What to Cook
By Jenny Miller
When commenter NBurger79 won our Notes From a Kitchen giveaway with his touching story of making his grandmother’s ricotta pie, at least one of you asked for the recipe. We were curious, too, so we checked in to see if he might be able to share it, and he was happy to oblige. Minnie Marsala’s Ricotta Pie has a graham-cracker crust and an airy ricotta-and-chocolate filling. See the recipe below.

1 oz white sugar
