Fresh fig and ricotta tart: This fig and ricotta tart was pure invention. When you have the same guests over a number of days there is an expectation to provide a wide variety of dishes throughout their stay.
I have learned to have a few essentials in the kitchen which include ready-made pastry. A trip into the garden, some ricotta and this dish was another winner!
