Make the ricotta filling: Beat the ricotta, eggs and seasonings together. Beat in the grated cheese.

Divide the Pasta Frolla into 2 pieces. Roll 1 of the pieces thinly to line a 9-inch straight-sided cake pan or 9-inch pie pan. Spread 1/3 of the filling on the dough in the bottom of the pan. Strew with half each the mozzarella and sausage. Cover with another 1/3 of the filling. Strew with the remaining mozzarella and sausage. Spread with the remaining filling. Top with a lattice crust made with the remaining dough.
