By zircon50

Recipe may be doubled, if using a larger-sized baking dish

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb spaghetti
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 8 oz. Ricotta
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• zest of 1 large orange
• cinnamon for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter an 8" x 11.5" oven-proof glass baking dish

Cook spaghetti to al dente; rinse with cold water and drain. Let spaghetti cool completely.

In a large bowl, mix cooled spaghetti, beaten eggs, milk, Ricotta, sugar, orange zest and vanilla together.

Pour mixture into buttered baking dish, and sprinkle the top with cinnamon.

Bake for 1 hour, or until top is lightly browned, and a knife comes out clean when inserted into the center.

Pastieri is sliced as you would brownies, and may be served warm or cold.
