Sharing certainly one of my favourite zucchini recipes, Zucchini Ricotta Pesto Tart. That is Creamy ricotta cheese blended with parmesan cheese, garlic, and thyme unfold over an all-butter puff pastry. Organize thinly sliced zucchini over the ricotta and bake the tart till the cheese is melty and the crust is golden and ideal. As soon as out of the oven, high with basil pesto, honey, and recent basil. Probably the most scrumptious garden-style tart.

As we enter August, my largest objective is to benefit from essentially the most plentiful produce proper now: tomatoes, corn, zucchini, peppers, and naturally, the in-season stone fruits and berries.

Summer season and fall are my favourite seasons in terms of climate and available produce. Tomatoes and corn are, in fact, so scrumptious, however they do are usually used quite a bit in summer time recipes. Zucchini, whereas nonetheless frequent, will not be used sufficient. I see it quite a bit in bread recipes, possibly sautéed into stir-fries or utilized in salads, however I like to have enjoyable and use zucchini in different methods. It’s so versatile!

I’ve made a couple of zucchini pasta dishes, a handful of pizzas, and a variety of zucchini bread, however that is my first tart. It’s mainly a zucchini pizza however with pastry dough.

So, in fact, it’s scrumptious!

It was my mother that helped me land on this recipe. She talked about {that a} tomato tart sounded yummy. That received me pondering, “properly, tomato tarts are fairly frequent, what a couple of zucchini tart as an alternative?”

I knew it could be good, so as an alternative of overthinking the recipe, I simply made it. Wow, so glad I went for it as a result of this tart is so good!

Step 1: combine the ricotta

For one of the best consequence and taste, use complete milk ricotta. Add some parmesan, garlic, recent thyme, and a pinch of chili flakes.

You need to use thyme, rosemary, or oregano. I feel any of those will likely be nice!

Step 2: the zucchini

Subsequent, thinly lower the zucchini utilizing a Y-shaped vegetable peeler. I like this one.

Lay the zucchini on a clear kitchen towel, salt it, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. The salt will draw out any extra moisture. Dab the zucchini dry to forestall the tart from turning into soggy.

Step 3: roll the pastry out

As a substitute of constructing selfmade pastry, I virtually all the time use puff pastry from the freezer.

Be sure that the pastry is thawed, then roll it out to a big rectangle.

Step 4: assemble

Now you may layer every little thing on. I begin with the ricotta, then layers and layers of the zucchini. The final layer is the addition of parmesan.

Now you may bake. As quickly because the tart comes out of the oven, spoon over the basil pesto, add recent basil, and drizzle with honey. I all the time discover a sprinkle of sea salt with the honey to be additional delicious!

Easy but good – a low-key dinner with a facet salad or possibly a yummy steak! You may also serve this as an appetizer. Both route you select will likely be scrumptious!
