Add 2 quarts of water, cinnamon stick, and cloves. On high heat bring to a boil. Step#2- Cover, lower heat, and cook for about an hour. Water will have mostly reduced. Step#3- Higher heat and add butter, sugar, and milk. Step#4- Stir and cook on high heat until all liquid has evaporated and it’s creamy. Remove cloves and cinnamon. Step#5- Cover and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Pie crust/Pasta frolla:- Step#1- In a large bowl combine all the ingredients and with one hand gently fold to incorporate to form a soft dough. Step#2- Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. I usually make it the day before. Assembly of Pastiera:- Step#1- In a large bowl add ricotta and sugar. Cream together with an electric handheld mixer. Step#2- Add the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, fior d’arancio, citron, and orange zest. Now add the cooked wheat. Step#3- Mix to combine. Step#4- Divide the pie crust into 3 pieces and roll out 3 disks to cover the pie plate. Trim the sides of the pie plate and use the dough to make 3/4 inch wide strips. Step#5- Fill the pie crust-lined plates with the mixture and place 3 strips on top and then another 4 diagonally. Step#6- Bake at 350 degrees until golden. Mine cooked for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Enjoy and Buona Pasqua!
