Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish. Now, let's get started on making this scrumptious Italian spaghetti pie dessert!
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Add in the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim off any excess dough and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool while you prepare the filling.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the raspberries break down. Let cool for a few minutes before pouring it over the ricotta filling.
Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set. Let it cool before serving. You can serve this Italian spaghetti pie dessert warm or chilled, and feel free to top it with fresh raspberries or whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
This Italian spaghetti pie dessert is a creative and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth. The combination of the buttery crust, creamy ricotta filling, and tangy raspberry sauce is simply irresistible. Impress your loved ones with this unique and flavorful dessert that is sure to become a family favorite.
