Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan. Cook the courgettes for 5 mins until golden around the edges, then remove from the pan and set aside. Mix the ricotta with the eggs, most of the basil, the nutmeg, Parmesan and garlic. Set aside.
  2. Unroll the pastry on a lightly floured surface - roll it out lightly to give an even surface. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and lay the pastry on top.
  3. Spread the pastry with the ricotta mix, leaving a border of 1cm around the edge, then press the courgette slices into the ricotta. Bring the pastry sides up over the edge of the filling and pinch so that none seeps out the sides.
  4. Bake for 30 mins until the tart is puffed up and golden. Serve warm, scattered with the remaining basil.

    Brilliant recipe ..... Way too complicated though .... I substituted all of the above ingredients for a quick trip to my local Spar.... Ended up with a broken quiche (with courgettes!!!!) from the reduced section ...Mmmmm delicious - I didn't realise this cooking lark was so easy!!!

    Didn't expect great things with this recipe but had plenty of courgettes so thought I would give it a go. I added 2 cloves of garlic and plenty of seasoning and the end result was great.

    All ingredients that are plentiful here in the Med. Will give it a try; it's so easy that even I will probably manage to make it I'm sure!

    This was most agreeable! As is my habit with puff pastry, i scored a one inch border all the way around, and parbaked it for 15 minutes. This means no sogginess (especially if you sprinkle a little parm directly onto the pastry before adding the ricotta mix), and no need to fold the pastry. I added a few toasted pine nuts, and some very thinly sliced frizzled leeks. Gone in a flash!

    I need to avoid as much egg usage as I can. I use egg substitutes from any health shop and it enables one's such as I to eat as type of quiche and cakes that I may enjoy without being ill.
