"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400º.
2. With a whisk attachment in an electric mixer, whip cream cheese for 5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
3. Add pumpkin and mix for another 5 minutes.
4. Add melted butter and vanilla and mix.
5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6. Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
7. Place pie dough in a pie pan. Place pan on a baking sheet.
8. Pour pumpkin pie filling into the pie crust. I find it easier to pour it in after the pie pan is already in the oven.
9. Bake for 15 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to 350º and bake for an additional 42-48 minutes.
10. Let chill in refrigerator for 4 hours.

Personal Notes:
This pie is incredibly soft and creamy. It is probably the best pumpkin pie ever. It has cream cheese and over 3 cups of powdered sugar; how could it not be?
