Make an Italian strawberry tart using ingredients from your pantry

For those times you're craving something sweet but don't want to do another supermarket run, make this authentic and absurdly simple Italian tart recipe your go-to.

Italian-born, Sydney-based cook Vincenzo Prosperi of YouTube channel Vincenzo's Plate has a simple philosophy when it comes to the food of his homeland: anyone can impress friends and family with traditional, homemade Italian dishes, and you don't need a nonna to master the basics (although, it probably doesn't hurt).

Here, he shares his tutorial with ninemsn Food on how to whip up a beautifully rustic lattice-top strawberry Italian tart known as a crostata di fragile with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and fridge at home.

All you'll need…

100g sugar
100g butter, extra for lining tart tray
2 egg yolks, 1 whole egg
dash of vanilla extract
flour, for lining tart tray
strawberry jam

Watch the video above to see how elegantly simple it is to create a nonna-worthy dessert at a whim.
