Line the form with baking paper. Take the dough out of the fridge. Roll out 2/3 of the dough with a rolling pin, carefully place it in the form, shape the edges, and cut off excess dough with a knife. Fill the resulting 'basket' with ricotta cream and smooth it out with a spoon. Roll out the remaining dough into a layer about 3 mm thick, cut into strips and place over the cream in a lattice pattern.
