I cut my Pasquetta outing a little short Easter Monday in order to attend the highly anticipated Sagra della Pizza Chiena (Pizza Rustica Festival) at the Our Lady of the Snow Hall in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I didn’t want to go empty handed, so I went home to whip something up. Since I’m not much of a baker, instead of attempting to make pizza chiena, I prepared my signature frittata di maccheroni, which is what I traditionally have for Pasquetta.
 
Seeing as it was their inaugural affair, I was unsure of what to expect, but upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised to see such a fantastic turnout. I’m guessing about fifty people showed up, most bearing their own version of pizza rustica (also called pizza chiena or pizza gain).
