Or, you can make it at home. The recipe is courtesy of Chef David DiBari.

Easter Pie

Makes one 9-inch pie, Serves 8

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces Montena Taranto ricotta cheese
  • 3 ounces hot sopressata
  • 3 ounces sweet sopressata
  •  2 ounces Genoa salami
  • 1/2 cup Grana Padano cheese, grated
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  •  2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 300° F.
  • Run the sopressata (hot and sweet) under warm water to loosen the skin (this will help to make the peeling easier). Peel and dice the sopressata and salami.
  • Combine the meat, ricotta, yolk, one of the eggs, Grana Padano and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Reserve the second egg to brush the dough before it goes in the oven.
  • Roll out savory Parmigiano short dough to line a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Fill the lined pie plate with the meat mixture and fold the edges of the dough onto the filling.
  • Lightly beat the reserved egg and, using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the dough.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes.
  • Cool, chill and slice.
