Ingredients:
- 1 sheet (480g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta, drained
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5g) lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
- 1 cup (150g) fresh peas, blanched
- 1 bunch (200g) thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
- 3 stalks (45g) spring onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp (8g) fresh mint, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp (8g) fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Roll out the puff pastry and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing gently into the edges and pricking the bottom with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Line the pastry with parchment paper, fill with pizza weights, and blind bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
- Drain the ricotta cheese in a fine-mesh sieve for 30 minutes to remove excess whey.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the drained ricotta, non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Flash-blanch the peas and asparagus pieces; wilt the baby spinach and squeeze out all excess moisture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced spring onions, then fold in the blanched peas, asparagus, spinach, fresh mint, and dill.
- Spread the ricotta-yogurt mixture evenly into the blind-baked pastry shell.
- Top the filling with the spring green medley and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
