    Lovely and refreshing - used about double the mascarpone than what was suggested. Goes great with beef.

    Very good and super simple, my pastry had burned a little on the edges before tomatoes were fully cooked, although it was nice and crispy, not soggy at all which has happened before to me with the puff-pastry tarts. I used ricotta mixed up with some herbs as I did not have mascarpone, it was also very nice. It turned out very tasty and fresh, looked nice as well. I�ll be making this again, maybe with some variations �
