Recipe Information

Step by step guide to making Cherry tomato, spinach and ricotta tart

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas mark 5. Dust your work surface with flour; roll out the pastry and line a 22cm tart tin. Lightly press into the tin and trim the edges. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  2. Line the inside of the tart with a piece of baking parchment then fill with baking beans. Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the baking parchment and beans, and bake the tart for a further 5-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Once the tart is out, reduce the oven temperature to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the spinach. Cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta and milk. Season. Add the wilted spinach, spring onions and basil.
  5. Pour the mixture into the tart case then top with the cherry tomatoes (cut-side up). Place on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked. Cool, then remove from the tin.
  6. Serve with the rocket on the side.

Cook's tip: If you do not have baking beans you can use dried pasta instead.
