Pasta Frolla alle Fragole {Strawberry Shortcake}
For me, summer and strawberries go together and have for as long as I can remember. And something I always have each summer with strawberries is STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. Swoon. My Grandma made it. My Mamma made it and now that I finally coersed the recipe from her I can make it too. There’s just something about the light flaky dough, the juiciness of the strawberries and the sweetness of the cream that comes together in perfect harmony for me.
Why am I doing a Strawberry Shortcake recipe you ask? WELL…I was asked by my sweet friend Giulia from Juls Kitchen if I’d stop by and do a guest post for her. She’s put together a brilliant series of summer round ups from various bloggers and I was honored to have been included. {If you’re not familiar, a guest post is something we bloggers do for each other as a courtesy. It’s a great opportunity for us to introduce our friends to YOU, and it also introduces us to their audience as well. Sharing the love if you will ; )}
If you’re not familiar with Giulia you should be. She’s a beautiful person both outside {Have you seen her hair? It’s gaw-geous, yes I have curl envy} and even more so inside. She takes inspiring fotos and her passion for her food really shows. If you like bell’alimento I know you’ll LOVE Juls Kitchen.
When I sat down and thought about what summers meant to me and what family food comes to mind, there were many but in the end it was it strawberry shortcake. This one was made even more special by using strawberries grown in my own garden {thank goodness the bambini didn’t eat them all first}. This sweet summer dessert has been a tradition in my family since I can remember so it was the natural choice for this post.
I had to drag this recipe out of my Mamma so be sure to head on over to JULS KITCHEN and check it out ; )
Baci!

Ma quante cose belle mi dici Paula?!?!?!Grazie, sei un tesoro, grazie per aver fatto il guest post e grazie per essere come sei!
Beautiful dessert Paula, the mint top leaf adds that professional garnish touch!

That PICTURE made me swoon! So beautiful, and I bet it tastes even better. I tried growing strawberries this year, but I’m afraid I’ve killed the plant before it could produce anything. I’m not sure what went wrong, but I look forward to trying again someday.
Can I have that place?
This looks incredible! I can’t wait to make it.
Is that basil? That must be Italian strawberry shortcake, he he!
Looks so delicious, I can just taste it!
Man does this look delicious! Thanks for all the inspiration! I’m definitely going to try to make this
I recently “launched” my own food blog. Please check it out and tell me what you think!
