Crostata with Mushrooms and Pancetta from Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites

This was okay but I thought the pastry crust overpowered the filling... I think because of the mascarpone. The recipe does not say to cut or slice the mushrooms but I really think you have to break them... read more >

I replaced the golden syrup with condensed milk (as suggested) and it was outrageous. This makes a lot so have plenty of ice cream on hand...you won't want to waste drop.

I made these for our New Year's Eve/wedding anniversary celebration to go with a killer bottle of champagne. I also made a black pepper creme fraiche to dollop on top which was not part of the recipe. They were delicious...but they needed the creme fraiche. I think they would be a little dry without it.

I thought this was delicious and a keeper for the comfort food repertoire! But I did make some changes. Did not have onion confit so I used an onion/garlic jam and reduced the amount to 2 TBS because of the sweetness. Also switched out the lentils with cannelini beans, regular olive oil for the garlic-infused and served it over rice.
I think the changes I made were a lucky (but yummy) guess.
