Every recipe from my childhood revolves around my family’s Umbrian Traditions. Historically it is said that our ancestors, the Etruscans, were great gourmands. Etruscans were such great gourmands that the collection of recipes that survived the centuries is impressive. The Crostata del Pastore is no exception. The “holy trinity” of Umbrian cuisine: pork , starch , and cheese is showcased with an amazing crust.
