Pastiera Napoletana

There is no dessert more Neapolitan than this. A ricotta and wheat berry filling, scented with orange blossom water and candied citrus, encased in a tender pasta frolla and crossed with lattice — pastiera napoletana is the taste of Easter, of Sunday, of a city that has always understood that the most sacred things are also the most delicious. It must be made a day ahead, which the Neapolitans will tell you is not an inconvenience but a requirement. Good things take time.
