Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan. Sizzle the courgettes for 5 mins until golden around the edges, then set aside. In a bowl, beat the ricotta with the eggs, basil, nutmeg, half the Parmesan and the garlic. Set aside.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rough round about 40cm wide, then transfer to a baking tray. Spread the pastry with the ricotta mix, leaving a 4cm border. Press the courgette slices into the ricotta, then scatter over the pine nuts and remaining Parmesan.
- Bring the sides up over the edge of the ricotta, pinch to encase the filling, then bake for 30 mins until the filling is puffed up and golden. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm or cold with a crisp green salad.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your tart. Look for fresh ricotta cheese, good-quality pine nuts, and a flavorful honey.
- Don't overcook the tart. The ricotta filling should be set, but still slightly wobbly in the center. If you overcook it, the filling will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing it. This will help the filling to set properly and prevent it from falling apart.
- Serve the tart at room temperature or slightly chilled. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Garnish the tart with fresh herbs or a drizzle of honey before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This creamy ricotta tart with pine nuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy ricotta filling, crunchy pine nuts, and sweet honey drizzle, this tart is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
