peeking in my feed reader, I received this feed and I decided to participate in each year, more than Christmas, Easter prpariamo lots of dishes, cakes and pies. I dedicate it to my favorites (that have nothing to do with the Roman tradition, but every year I wait for Passover to eat them!). I delight in tortani, sweet pizza ternata, but especially the Neapolitan pastiera. I think it's one of my favorite desserts because it has the puff pastry filled out and that reminds me so much a dessert spoon. Filling cooked (of course! Otherwise my allergy leads me straight to the hospital) I eat a train ...
This time, besides doing that great I wanted to do well of "doses" of the mold with small muffin ... For
Julia who lives in Kent, UK ... and for all ... Happy Easter!

So the people gave to her some nature gift: wheal, egges, ricotta cheese, spicies... So the gods meked a sweet cake whit this gift... They maked the pastiera!
