Layered pie with green peas, bacon, parmesan, and herbs is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines a delicate texture and rich flavor. Historically, puff pastry came to Italy from France, but local chefs quickly adapted it by adding traditional ingredients. Green peas give the pie lightness and sweet notes; bacon adds spiciness and richness; while parmesan provides a characteristic salty depth. Baking creates a crispy crust under which lies a juicy filling. This pie is perfect for festive gatherings, picnics, or cozy family dinners. It can be served as a standalone dish accompanied by a fresh salad or white wine to highlight its rich flavor profile.
