This Crispy Cheese Piadina with Vodka Sauce is pure winter indulgence.
Melted Mozzarella and Parmesan create a golden crust around the warm flatbread and is then filled with more creamy melted Mozzarella.
Pair this with the rich, velvety vodka sauce and you have a decadent dish made for dipping and sharing on cold nights.
*The vodka is optional, and can be removed to make the sauce completely kid-friendly, without losing any of its rich flavour.
