  • place it in a 28 cm pan, previously buttered or lined with parchment paper. Poke the bottom well with a fork

    Prepare the filling: In a bowl, place the ricotta and eggs. Add salt, pepper, and mix until a smooth cream is obtained. Add the chopped mortadella and mix well.

  • Pour the filling onto the pastry base and level with a spatula. Roll out the remaining dough and cut strips. Arrange them over the filling, creating the classic crisscrossed lattice of the tart.

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 50 minutes, until the surface is golden and the pastry is well-cooked.

  • enjoy your meal!
