Description

A refreshing Lemon-Asparagus & Broad Bean Tart that combines the flavors of fresh vegetables and creamy ricotta cheese, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup broad beans (or substitute with green peas)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Place the pastry in the tart pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in the broad beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  5. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the puff pastry. Top with the sautéed asparagus and broad beans, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
  7. Let the tart cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the ricotta mixture.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can omit the egg and use a flaxseed egg substitute instead.
