The history of the Pasqualina cake

Savory vegetable pies represent one of the most typical symbols of Ligurian gastronomy. Already in the Renaissance we can find evidence of Genoese gattafure, pies filled with chard or onions with two overlapping sheets of pasta. Gattafure are the daily food of the time, what was sold and served in taverns in Genoa and its surroundings; meanwhile these cakes evolve and new variations are always developed (with rice or mushrooms or other herbs, most likely with "preboggion", the name used to identify the various Ligurian spontaneous herbs); at the base there is always the presence of the most typical fresh cheese, namely prescinseua.

The actual name of Torta Pasqualina, which is linked to the Easter holiday but as we were saying is a cake for daily use that is eaten all year round, seems however to have begun to gain ground only in the nineteenth century, with the famous cookbooks - by Ratto and Rossi - which contributed to founding the Genoese gastronomic tradition: in these cookbooks we have a distinction that over the years will then be lost, that is, the name pasqualina identifies the vegetable and cheese pies in which the two ingredients are distinct in two layers while the cappuccina (or cappuccino), the chard - or artichokes - and the prescinseua are mixed together, a distinction that has now been lost. Since the Easter cake is one of the main courses for holiday lunches - both at Easter and also at Christmas - as well as being made at home, it can still be found on sale in takeaways and shamadde.
