Tips

  • The day before preparing the pastiera, work the ricotta with part of the sugar, prepare the shortcrust pastry, eventually the pastry cream and cook the wheat berries in advance.
  • The shortcrust pastry for the pastiera must be thinly spread and can also be spread directly in the pan.
  • The strips must not be tight, otherwise during cooking the filling swells and the strips break.
