My husband (who is Italian) and I have made this recipe for the last few Easter's and it has passed my mother-in-laws approval (she's 90 years old).
Sicilian Easter Cheese Pie

2 lbs. Ricotta Cheese
6 egg yolks
6 egg whites
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 small jar cherries, drained & chopped or a can of pineapple - drained

Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites gently. Spray a 9 x12 baking dish lightly with Pam. Take the round, single pie crust and roll out to about as square as you can get it to fit into the square bak. dish Add the egg mixture and cut the second pie crust into strips. Place strips gently on top of egg mixture and brush strips with a beaten egg white/water mixture.
