  This was very easy and gorgeous! I used twice as much garlic and half-fat creme fraiche instead of mascarpone, worked great. Very moreish!!

  A very easy recipe. I too used a lot more garlic. I don't think a recipe like this comes easier - it turned out great!

  Only had two courgettes, so sliced them very thinly and it ended being the perfect amount. Followed the other users advice and used three cloves of garlic. Also used creme fraiche instead of marscapone. This is so fantastic and so so easy, not to mention pretty! Try it tonight!!

  I made this for tea last night, but followed Katharine's tip for a lower calorie version, it was delicious and i will definitely be making this a lot; Also in individual portion sizes for starters and picnics.

  I made this over the weekend and even my family members who don't "love" zucchini (courgettes) raved about it! I think it's about the easiest and tastiest thing ever! I am thinking of substituting skim milk ricotta next time, just to bring the calorie count down a bit.

  Absolutely delicious tart for a mid-week supper or for entertaining. Served it with a simple salad of sliced tomatoes, cucumber and little gem lettuce, drizzled with balsalmic glaze. I used Gordon Ramsay's rough puff pastry recipe rather than the ready rolled: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2403/roughpuff-pastry- and was amazed at the result! I consider myself to be a good cook but a disaster at pastry making but it turned out so well! Very chuffed. I took note of the other user's tips and used 4 cloves of garlic; that gave it a lovely flavour. I only needed 2 medium-sized courgettes, any more would have been too many. Partner was very impressed because he is the master baker/pastry maker; I was just so excited to be beating him at his own game! :-D. Just make this now and bask in the compliments!

  Sorry, meant to say I also used half fat creme fraiche - it was still very rich and tasty so wonder if you could get away with non-fat creme fraiche or Greek yoghurt...

  I made this recipe a few days ago and it was absolutely delicious! I followed three suggestions from other reviewers: I used creme fraiche instead of marscapone cheese, put a little more garlic in than the recipe asks for, and made four small tarts instead of one large one. Firstly, the creme fraiche worked beautifully. I think marscapone would have made the tarts too rich for me. Secondly, I used three cloves of garlic and actually think this was a bit too much. Next time I only use two and will use four small(ish) courgettes, instead of three. My boyfriend and I ate two of the tarts for dinner, when still hot, and saved the remaining two for a picnic the next day. They were wonderful hot or cold. I would highly recommend making them. They were so easy to make the result was so impressive, especially as four individual tarts.

  Absolutely gorgeous! Made it with all of the ingredients as stated and it turned out to be extremely delicious and very filling. I made two separate tarts instead of one big one though and had quite a lot of courgette left over - I think that two courgettes would suffice if making it in two parts.

  This was delicious. I also added extra garlic and used double cream instead of mascarpone as it was all I had. My two young children, aged 2 and 4, had 3 servings each!

  Delicious! I have made a variation on a second occasion, using blanched broccoli florets as I didn't have any courgettes - it also worked really well.

  Wow! I was so impressed with this recipe - dead easy to prepare, only a few ingredients and a real wow-factor at the table. I was slightly nervous about the creamy cheese base as my pastry has a tendency to go soggy, but it turned out fine. I tried this a second time and it even worked with gluten-free pastry. Will be a regular in our house from now on.

  I was disappointed, having read all the above comments, why was my pastry just soggy underneath?

  I toyed with making this a few hours in advance, but decided not to as may go soggy. Anyway made with 1/2 fat creme fraiche as other had and served with nice green salad (both salad leaves & courgettes from my garden), so very happy. Plan to make again this week!
