Instructions

1
To make the Pie Crust: In a large bowl or on a work surface, mix together the flour, sugar, and butter pieces with a wooden spoon until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Form a well in the center and add the eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, salt, and liqueur (if using). Gradually stir in the flour mixture, until thoroughly combined. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in a sheet of plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling out.

To make the Egg Pasta: Mound the flour in a large bowl. Make a deep well in the center of the mound and add the eggs and egg yolk. Beat the eggs with a fork, then gradually incorporate a little flour at a time. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it feels silky. Working in sections, roll it out with a rolling pin or pass it through a pasta machine, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Divide the pasta into 3 portions, with one portion slightly larger than the other two. Line the pie crust with the larger portion of pasta and sprinkle with one portion of the almond mixture. Lift the pasta with the tip of a knife so it is loose and free-form. Do not press the pasta down. Dot the pasta with one third of the butter. Top with another layer of pasta sprinkled with a portion of the almond mixture and more butter. Repeat to make a third layer.
