Pasticcio

A general term used to describe a dish made from a wide variety of ingredients on hand.

Over time, in Italian, it came to denote a pie with a savoury filling with a top and bottom pie crust. Pasta is often even put inside the pie.

Language Notes

Derived from the word “pasta”, which means “dough”.

Painters used the word “pasticcio” to describe works of art that were a hodge-podge of blatantly imitative styles.

Other names

Italian: Pasticcio
French: Pastiche
