Steps
To prepare the strawberry and ricotta dessert, start with the strawberries. I recommend picking them ripe but firm, so wash them well and remove the stem. Then cut them into small pieces and put them in a bowl with the granulated sugar, mix and let the strawberries macerate for half an hour, allowing the strawberries to release their juice.
Meanwhile, prepare the ricotta cream. Take a bowl, put the ricotta and powdered sugar in it, and work everything with a spoon for a few minutes to get a soft and creamy ricotta cream.
Take the strawberries again, drain them from their juice, collecting it in a dish. Add a tablespoon of water, mix.
Prepare the dessert, take a baking dish approximately 10 by 8 inches, make the first layer of Pavesini by dipping them in the strawberry juice, cover with a layer of ricotta cream and strawberries, make another layer of dipped Pavesini, ricotta cream, and strawberries. The dessert is ready, you can serve it immediately or put it in the fridge and enjoy it after a few hours.
