Ingredients

  • 1 Disk Pasta Frolla All-purpose flour, for dusting Unsalted butter, softened, for pie plate 1 cup ricotta cheese, drained for 30 minutes in a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a bowl 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin 5 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt Heaping 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons pine nuts 1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring pasta frolla to room temperature. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a lightly buttered 10-inch pie plate. Use your fingertips to press dough against bottom and sides of dish until even. Trim edges; refrigerate scraps in plastic wrap until step 4.

Prick bottom of pastry shell all over with a fork. Bake until set and pale golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. With a small knife, trim edgeof shell where uneven to leave a 1/4-inch space between shell and top of dish.

Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees. Processricotta in a food processor until smooth. Add the mascarpone, pumpkin, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla; process until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add yolks; process until combined, about10 seconds. Pour into pastry shell.

Tear reserved chilled dough scraps into 1-inch pieces. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll pieces with your hands to make 1/4-inch-thick ropes. Gentlypress one long rope around top edge of shell (patch two ropes together, if necessary). Gently place other pastry ropes on top of filling to create a lattice pattern (ropes of all lengths can be used). Place 3 pine nuts in each square of lattice. Brush latticework with egg white.

Bake crostata until crust is golden brown and filling is set, about 40 minutes. Let cool on rack.
