To prepare the Savory Tart with Ricotta, Cherry Tomatoes and Pesto, start by unrolling the puff pastry sheet into a baking pan. Using a knife, make a light incision along all edges about 2 cm (0.8 inches) from the border and prick the inner area with a fork. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, place them in a bowl with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few roughly chopped basil leaves, then mix well.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with some grated Parmigiano Reggiano (aged Italian parmesan cheese) and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to mix and soften the mixture until smooth.
Spread the softened ricotta mixture evenly over the inner part of the pastry. Carefully arrange the seasoned cherry tomatoes along with the basil leaves on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 20-30 minutes.
Once baked, remove the Savory Tart from the oven and add small dollops of pesto on top. Your Ricotta, Cherry Tomatoes and Pesto Tart is now ready to be served and enjoyed. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
