Crostata is an Italian dessert, which kind of resembles like Greek Pasta Flora or Frolla but there is a difference between the two of them, which will be explained in this post.
Pasta flora
Pasta Frolla is an Italian shortbread pastry tart, similar to the one we call Pasta Flora, in Greece made with Pâte brisée and topped with Jam. The word “pasta” means dough and “frolla”, as explained to me by my friend Simona, means tender in Italian, as it is a very flaky dough.
Pasta Flora is a dessert my mother used to make quite often and she usually used whatever homemade jams she had.
