About Torta pasqualina

Torta Pasqualina is a traditional Italian savory pie originating from Liguria, typically enjoyed during Easter celebrations. This dish combines flaky layers of puff pastry with a rich filling of ricotta cheese, spinach or chard, eggs, and Parmesan, seasoned with nutmeg and other spices. Whole eggs are baked into the filling, creating a visually striking slice when served. While this pie is a good source of protein from eggs and cheese, along with fiber from leafy greens, it can also be high in saturated fat and calories due to the pastry and cheeses. Opting for whole-grain pastry or reducing the cheese can improve its nutritional profile. Torta Pasqualina showcases the balance of indulgence and nutritive ingredients characteristic of Italian cuisine, making it both a festive treat and a satisfying dish.
