1 tsp Salt
1 cup Unsalted butter, cut up
1/3 cup Water, ice cold
FILLING

8 oz Ricotta
1/2 cup Butter

Directions
Cibo cheese is a goat cheese mixed with cream and other flavorings.
I bought it at an upscale grocery store, in the deli section.
Make the crust: lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Process flour, salt and butter just until combined and crumbly in texture.
Add water, 2 tablespoons at a time.
Do not overprocess.
Press evenly into pan, up 1 ½ inches at the side.
Allow to chill while making the filling.
Make the filling: preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine cibo goat cheese, ricotta, butter, eggs (adding one at a time, processing well after each addition), flour, salt and pepper.
Pour filling into shell, bake until puffed and brown for 25-30 minutes.
