ZUCCHINE, RICOTTA & LIMONE 🥒🍋 #TortaSalata #Zucchine #Ricotta #RicetteFacili#TorteSalate

In this instructional cooking video, Orazio Vagnozzi presents a step‑by‑step recipe for a savory tart featuring zucchini, ricotta, and lemon. He begins by lining a 24 cm round pan with ready‑made pâte brisée and optionally pre‑baking it at 190 °C for ten minutes. He then sautés thin (≈3 mm) half‑moon zucchini in olive oil with a garlic clove for seven minutes, ensuring the pan isn’t overcrowded so the vegetables stay crisp and release excess moisture. After discarding the garlic and letting the zucchini cool, he prepares a ricotta filling by draining the cheese, crushing it in a bowl, and mixing in eggs, grated Parmesan, fresh mint, basil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to a soft but not runny consistency. The cooled zucchini are folded into the filling, which is poured into the crust and baked at 190 °C for about 35 minutes, finishing with a brief grill to colour the top. The tart is allowed to cool slightly, sliced, and served. Orazio notes that the full recipe and wine‑pairing advice are available on his YouTube channel “Orazio Food Experience.”
