How to Make Italian Easter Rice Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
- Stir in the sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and ricotta cheese until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
