TORTA DI PASQUETTA (THE PASQUETTA/EASTER TART)
The day after Easter is referred to as Pasquetta, or "little Easter." On this Monday, most Italians gather together with friends for a picnic. This tart can be prepared up to two days in advance - some say the flavors improve.

Steps:
- In a bowl, quickly mix together the flour, water, oil and salt. Transfer the mixture to a work surface. Briefly work the dough with your fingertips until it forms a ball.
- Divide into two balls, one slightly larger than the other (one third to two thirds); shape balls into flattened disks, wrap separately in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the larger piece to a 14 ½ inch round, 1/2 inch thick. Transfer to an 11 inch springform pan, pressing into edges and leaving a ¼ inch overhang.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F In a bowl, combine the ricotta, 7 of the eggs, ham, marjoram, salt, and pepper; spoon into the prepared crust. With the back of a tablespoon, create 6 deep egg-shaped indentations in the filling. One at a time, crack an egg into each indentation.
- Roll the remaining dough into a 11-inch round. Cover the top of the tart with dough; pinch together the edges and trim any excess dough. Whisk together the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the top of the tart with the egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cumin seeds.
- Bake tart, rotating halfway through, until top is puffed up and golden, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on rack to room temperature.

- Wash the leaves of the chard or spinach carefully, based on what you have chosen as vegetables. Then place them into a large pot with a little water. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl mix ricotta, Parmigiano cheese, Pecorino Romano cheese and 1 egg. Stir and mix all the ingredients. Add a pinch of fine salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Now drain the vegetables and squeeze them well with your hands to remove all the water. You can leave chard as they are or mince them, as you prefer. We’ve let them whole. Now add them to the mixture. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Take a 8 inch round cake pan and line it with baking paper. Then line it with one of the sheets of puff pastry. Now fill it with the mixture of cheeses and chard. Make three small hollows in the vegetable mixture, evenly spaced. Place in each hole one whole raw egg.
- Finally, Cut a 20 cm (8 inch) circle out of the second sheet of puff pastry. Place it carefully over the top of the mixture. Close the pie, folding down the edges of the pastry lining to join up with the disk. Put in oven and bake at 180° C (350 F) for 50 minutes. Serve Torta Pasqualina still hot or let it cool to room temperature.

- Wash your spinach really well, then steam them until cooked, then drain them well and set aside.
- Let it cook so the garlic delicately infuse the oil, then remove the garlic and add the spinach to the pan: cook for a minute to allow the spinach to soak up the garlicky flavor (make sure they don't turn crispy), then quickly blitz them in a food processor to turn them into a smooth paste.
- In a large bowl, pour your ricotta, then add the spinach, one egg, parmesan, salt and nutmeg and mix really well, until you get a smooth cream.
