Budino di Riso is a traditional Italian dessert, a delicious rice pudding baked in a pastry crust.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add a small amount of the hot rice mixture to the eggs, stirring constantly. Then, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the rice.
Roll out the pastry dough and line a pie dish with it. Pour the rice mixture into the pie dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.
Let the budino di riso cool before serving.
