What is Torta Pasqualina?
Torta Pasqualina is a savory Italian Easter tart from Liguria, typically prepared for Easter celebrations. Traditionally, it was made with 33 layers of dough, representing the years of Christ, but today, five to ten layers are more common.
This delicious Italian Easter dish features a delicate pastry crust filled with ricotta, Swiss chard, Parmesan, and eggs, which are cracked directly into the filling before baking. As the pie bakes, the eggs set inside, creating a stunning, symbolic dish perfect for your Easter table.
