Ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

For the filling:

- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork.
6. Pour the cheese mixture into the pie crust and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
