Awesome ricotta cheese pie recipe

I just experimented, cause I wanted to make something with sweetened ricotta cheese (being a cannoli lover) and I came across a "cheese pie" recipe...not sweetened too much though.. practically tastes the same as a cheese blintz, but it turned out sooo good. Anyway, the URL for the recipe is:

here are some notes, because the recipe is not very well-written: Ricotta cheese is sold in 1, 2, and 3 pound packages. The recipe calls for 5 cups.. The 3 pound package was a little more than was needed, so I left a cup of it in the container and mixed the rest in as filling.

I used the dried grated lemon peel and orange peel... available in the spice section of your grocery store.

Also, the pie crust apparently has to be "pre-baked" a little.. basically what works is just putting the pie crust into the pan, and baking it just until it barely starts to turn brown. If you see any brown, it's ready for the filling.

The springform pan... just in case it seems confusing..they're asking for a

9 diameter, 1.5 inch high springform pan.

As for the twelve 12 inch long strips you cut, I'm not sure what they mean by "12 inches wide".. I just made 12 fairly thin strips and threw em on.
