  Very nice. Used half quark to make it lighter. Easy, nice and tasty.

  This was really easy to prepare. The whole family enjoyed it, even the children (aged 4 and 8). In fact, I think it is easy enough for the children to help make next time. Leftovers were great for lunch the next day.

  Found this really easy to prepare & used ready rolled sheet of puff pastry to save a little more time. Everyone loved it & will be making it again soon!

  I found this easy to do but a bit tasteless. i added more pine nuts than suggested in the recipe but it needs loads of seasoning.

  This is a delicious tart. I left out the pine nuts and worked out just fine.

  Very simple to do and looked VERY impressive, but slightly disappointed that the flavour was rather bland.

  Easy to make and impressive to look at but def needs something to give it added oomph. More parmesan and nutmeg might do it, I added extra pine nuts anyway. Both my friends added salt and pepper but also asked for recipe.

  Easy to make. Lovely to look at. I agree a little more oomph would have added just a tad more, but will definitely make it again. Great hot or cold.

  I added a spoonful of pesto to the ricotta mixture and topped with flaked almonds as didn't have any pine nuts. It turned out huge (managed to polish it off between four of us though!) and was gorgeous with a mixed salad.

  Easy to make, looked and smelt delicious but not for me. I don't think I like ricotta, any suggestions what cheese I could use as a substitute.

  Excellent! I used supermarket low fat soft cheese and it was fine. Also added pesto instead of basil and some Oil and Vinegar Parmesan seasoning. No extra oomph needed! Lovely

  We all loved this recipe. The ricotta makes it nice and light. I added a little more grated parmesan and made my own short crust pastry. Will definitely make this again.
