Reviews
I made this recipe for my Mother, Grandmother and the rest of the family on Mother’s Day. Since I had spent all day cooking a multi-course dinner, I decided to use a preprepared refrigerated pie dough instead of making it homemade. Also, the grocery store did not have any nectarines so I used fresh peaches instead. The only thing was that the juices leaked out of the Crostata and on to the pan during baking, but after reading reviews for other Crostata recipes it seems like a common occurrence. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and some whipped cream and it was delicious! I highly recommend it.
