For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese. To drain the ricotta, place it in a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl for at least 30 minutes. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for extra depth of flavor. This pie can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. It also tastes great cold!
