Ingredients

  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 t fennel seeds, crushed
  • 1/2 t Lemon zest from 1 large lemon
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 medium plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 8 sheets frozen phyllo dough (8 by 13 inches), thawed
  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 2 T grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, eggs, fennel, zest, and half the salt and pepper; set aside. Lay tomato slices on paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Lightly mist a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray and unroll phyllo. Working quickly, place 1 sheet of phyllo in pan and mist with cooking spray. Place a second sheet over the first, rotating slightly, and mist; repeat with remaining phyllo. Top with ricotta mixture, then a layer of zucchini and a ring of tomato. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining salt and pepper and roll overhanging phyllo into a neat border.

Bake ricotta and zucchini tomato tart for 35 minutes or until phyllo is golden-brown and zucchini is tender. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
