Steps:
- Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and rosemary in a food processor; pulse once or twice. Add butter, and process until butter and flour are blended and mixture looks like cornmeal, about 10 seconds. Place mixture in a bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of water over it, then toss with a fork; add a little more water if necessary, until you can pack dough into a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Roll dough out on a floured surface until thin. Cut to fit 4 small tart pans or 1 medium one. (There will be leftover dough; wrap and freeze or refrigerate for another use.) Press dough into tart pans, and prick surface all over with a fork. Refrigerate again for an hour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg with a tablespoon of water, and brush tart shells; bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden and slightly browned. Set aside for up to a few hours, or proceed immediately.
- Cut zucchini in quarters lengthwise. Dice each strip into 1/2-inch pieces. Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add zucchini and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they just start to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Add parsley, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is soft but still green. Remove from heat and cool. Combine zucchini-parsley mixture in a blender with Parmesan and blend until smooth.
- Spread zucchini pesto over baked tart shells. Toss greens with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Pile greens into tart shells and serve.
