Ingredients
- Pizza Piena Dough
- 8 large eggs
- 2 pounds fresh ricotta cheese
- 7 ounces sweet Italian dry sausage, very finely chopped
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound fresh unsalted mozzarella cheese, chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 large egg yolk, beaten
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out larger disk of dough into an 1/8-inch thick rectangle about 19 by 15 inches. Fit into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish leaving a 1-inch overhang; set aside.
Roll out second smaller disk of dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut four 15-by-1-inch strips; set aside. Cut remaining dough into three 11-by-1-inch strips; set aside.
Place eggs and ricotta in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix until well combined. Add sausage, parmesan, mozzarella, pepper, and parsley; continue mixing until well combined. Pour mixture over dough in baking dish.
With the long end of the baking dish facing you, place the three 11-inch strips of dough vertically over the top of the filling, spacing evenly apart. Starting in the middle, weave one of the 15-inch strips over and under the vertical strips (folding back every other vertical strip makes this easier). Continue weaving the remaining three 15-inch strips until lattice is complete. Fold over the overhanging pieces of dough and press with a fork to seal.
Brush dough with egg yolk and transfer to oven. Bake until golden brown, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Delicious and easy. Dough is so easy to work with. Wonderful for a brunch.
This is so similar to my Calabrian husband's fraguni (big socks). I like this version even better.

You will find the recipe by searching "spaghetti and meatballs from the DiSantos".
I did a search for "meatballs" and when the results came up I clicked on "The Martha Show" shown under "source" at the top. Good luck!!

I thought on the show Martha encouraged viewers to check out all of their recipes, which would be on her website. OK, how do I find them? Is there another search engine - besides Recipe Search- somewhere here that I'm not finding? And when I typed in 'Scavone', it only turned up 4 entries - this recipe and 3 other places on the site where the sisters' names are mentioned in conjunction with this same episode. Help !

Instead of mozzarella, we use fresh cheese, sometimes called basket cheese. We also use a combination of meats: genoa salami, prosciutto, and sopresota. Forget the sauce!

I too got a recipe from my Italian Grandmother. She was from the Naples area and called it Pizza Piena. She almost always used a hard peppered ham, not sausage, and a more firm form of ricotta diced instead of mozzarella. I can only find this ricotta in specialty shops in the Italian area of town. I concur, tradition calls for eating at room temp or cold and never with sauce. Buona Pasqua!

I was raised with this too! Does anyone have a recipe for pastiera do grana? It is a 'grain pie' made similarly. My nona's house was destroyed by a fire years ago and everything was tragically lost. She has passed since, and this is a tough traditional Easter favorite to be without. HELP!!
