Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare a 1/2 recipe for baked ricotta according to directions, mixing together ricotta, lemon zest, herbs and spices.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and trim to preferred size. I like to trim off one edge and add it to the short edge to make the tart long and thin. Place this rectangle onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Spread ricotta mixture over the pastry. Dollop the ricotta then use the back of a spoon to spread it; it doesn't have to be perfect.
- Bake in the oven at 400 for 16-18 minutes or until edges start to turn a golden brown color.
- As the tart bakes, use a vegetable peeler to make ribbons out of the asparagus. You must press down firmly to get a full, long, ribbon from the spear. Each spear should give you 4-5 ribbons, leaving you with a thick middle to save for another recipe.
- Toss ribbons with lemon juice, olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Once tart is done baking, remove from oven and top with marinated asparagus ribbons. Serve immediately.
