Notes
Vegetable tarts are very popular in Italy, they have been probably invented justto use up leftovers. As a mum, I often prepare veggies tart to transform veggies into a more unusual plate… especially when we’re talking about spinach! Pasqualina tart is for sure the most well-known tart in Italy… it’s name derives from Pasqua, that means Easter, as it’s a spring-time traditional plate to be served during Easter time.
Great! This was so delicious and easy to make. I made it for friends with a hearty soup and salad, and they were so impressed. Nobody could believe that this deliciousness came from spinach.
Good solid recipe. Easy to make changes to recipe based on personal taste, I think we will add garlic next time.
I wanna make this tonight!! Can I substitute zucchini instead of spinach? Help 🙂
I thought it was good, as did my husband. My 18m old daughter loved it! I made a few subs based on what I had on hand. Very good!
