Ingredients
1 puff pastry roll
300 g mixed cherry tomatoes
50 g shelled unsalted pistachios
200 g fresh ricotta Sterilgarda
45 g grated parmesan cheese
10 basil leaves
q.b. salt
q.b. pepper
q.b. extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
  1. Put the pistachios in the blender with 30 g of grated parmesan, 10 basil leaves, a teaspoon of grated lemon zest and blend adding a little extra virgin olive oil, until you obtain a creamy and smooth mixture. Add salt and set aside.
  2. Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry them, cut them in half and collect them in a bowl. Season with oregano, extra virgin olive oil and salt, mixing well.
  3. To prepare the ricotta cream, work the Sterilgarda Fresh Ricotta with the remaining Parmesan and a pinch of salt.
  4. Unroll the puff pastry on a baking sheet with the baking paper provided. Gently roll the edges to form a cord, prick the bottom with the prongs of a fork and spread the cheese cream, leveling it.
  5. Spread the cherry tomatoes over the Sterilgarda Fresh Ricotta cream, making sure to place them without their liquid. Cook in a static oven preheated to 180° for about 30 minutes, until golden.
  6. Remove the puff pastry from the oven and spread the pistachio cream by spoonfuls. Serve warm or at room temperature.
