Crostata's are your friend. I repeat. Crostata's are your friend. If you've never heard of a crostata before, it's basically an Italian baked tart. They are every bit as tasty as a pie but so much easier—no stressful transferring crusts to a pie plate or crimping involved. In fact, the more rustic and free formed they look the better. This Plum and Mascarpone Crostata recipe can be modified, making it the perfect addition to any breakfast, dinner, or dessert. Play around with different fillings—you can leave out the sugar in the crust to make a savory one with veggies and cheese. The sky is the limit so have fun and be creative!
