    I like this one because it's easily adapted to Lactose and wheat intolerant people: Substitute the pastry for a Gluten Free version readily available in the shops and voila. Make sure you use real ricotta as the recent ricotta is not being made to the original formula, thereby leaving lactose in the cheese.
