  1. Shells: Place the flour on a work surface and make a well. Place eggs, yolks, butter, Marsala in the well and combine them with a fork. Gradually incorporate the flour, little by little. Knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes. Let rest, covered with a damp cloth, about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll the dough very thin and cut into 4-inch squares with a pizza cutter. Grease 3/4-inch cannoli tubes and roll the dough around them, sealing the overlap with beaten egg white. Deep-fry them at 335 degrees F until golden brown. Cool and carefully slide them off the tubes.

  2. Filling: Drain the ricotta overnight in a cheesecloth-lined colander in the refrigerator. The next day, place ricotta , sugar, orange rind, lemon juice , cinnamon, and vanilla scrapings in the food processor and blend until very smooth. Just before serving, pipe the filling into each shell with a pastry bag and large plain tip. Dip the ends in chopped pistachios if you like.
