Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach.
  • Squeeze out the excess water from the spinach. This will help to prevent the tart from becoming watery.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese. A high-quality ricotta cheese will be smooth and creamy, and it will have a rich flavor.
  • Season the ricotta cheese generously. Ricotta cheese is a mild-flavored cheese, so it needs to be seasoned well to taste. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach only needs to be cooked for a few minutes, until it is wilted. Overcooked spinach will be tough and bitter.
  • Use a pre-baked tart shell. This will save you time and effort. If you are using a homemade tart shell, be sure to pre-bake it before filling it.
  • Let the tart cool slightly before slicing it. This will help to prevent the tart from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Spinach ricotta tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover spinach and ricotta cheese, and it can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its creamy texture and flavorful filling, spinach ricotta tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
