Hello, Hello All!
It’s finally courgette (zucchini) season and I for one couldn’t be any more excited. If you’ve followed me even a little bit these past ten years, then you know these are one of my favorite veggies to cook with in the summer. I found this recipe on Insta by @juliusroberts. He made me immediately make this. Go check him out! He’s amazing.
I am absolutely infamous for making a massive mess in the kitchen no matter what I make. I can’t help it, I inherited it from my Mother. Sorry Mom, can’t say it isn’t true. Having said that, this recipe was so easy that I didn’t even make a big mess in my kitchen! * bows *
This recipe is absolutely perfect to throw together when hosting, or for an evening on the patio. With only a few ingredients you have a beautiful and delicious summer dish.
Let’s make a Courgette Tart!
what you need:
puff pastry
1/2 lemon, juiced plus lemon zest
1 cup ricotta cheese
salt & pepper
green and yellow courgette
fresh basil
Before we get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, with a vegetable peeler slice your courgettes into ribbons. Toss in a bowl with olive oil and flakey salt.
Score the puff pastry to create an edge.
Mix ricotta, lemon juice, zest, handful of fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Then spread over pastry.
Layer the beautiful ribbons.
Slice up some garlic and place sporadically.
Add another layer to protect the garlic.
Sprinkle some parmesan and fold over the edges.
Bake this for about 20-25 minutes but keep an eye on it. You want the edges to get golden brown.
This lite summer dish is so perfect for entertaining, and it doesn’t hurt to add a little champagne with it. Just saying…
