Steps:
- Combine the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, ½ cup (120 ml) of olive oil, ricotta, salt, and pepper in a food processor and puree until blended and smooth. Set aside.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini, yellow squash and carrots into ribbons.
- Cut the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices, then slice in half lengthwise.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) tart dish with butter using a piece of parchment paper.
- Lay the puff pastry in the tart dish and delicately press it flat against the bottom and up the sides. Crimp any dough hanging over the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper over the pastry and pour the rice evenly on top. The rice helps keep the bottom of the crust from rising while baking.
- Parbake the crust for about 15 minutes, until the puff pastry starts to cook.
- Carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the rice (save for using in other recipes or discard). Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the ricotta pesto mixture evenly on the bottom of the tart.
- Starting from the outside, line the walls of the tart with the veggie ribbons, alternating veggies, until the entire shell is filled.
- Sprinkle the oregano on top and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the veggies are tender.
- Let cool for a few minutes.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose colorful and crisp vegetables: Bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, and zucchini are all great options. Aim for a variety of colors and textures for a visually appealing and flavorful pinwheel.
- Slice the vegetables thinly and evenly: This will help them roll up neatly and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife: A dull knife will tear the vegetables and make them difficult to roll.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortillas: This will help the pinwheels hold together and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Roll the tortillas tightly: This will help keep the fillings inside and prevent them from falling out.
- Chill the pinwheels before slicing: This will help them set and make them easier to cut.
- Serve the pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, hummus, or guacamole are all great options.
