Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 7 oz button mushrooms
- 7 oz spinach
- 5.3 oz ricotta
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 clove garlic
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Tools
- Baking pan 10 inches
- 2 Skillets

Preparation
Clean the mushrooms by removing all the dirt, quickly wash them (or wipe them with a cloth) and slice them.
Cook them for a few minutes in a skillet, with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. Once cooked, let them cool (1).
Clean and wash the spinach, place them in another skillet, with a dash of olive oil, a clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Let them wilt for a few minutes, until they soften and dry from their water. Then squeeze them well and let them cool (1).
Beat the egg in a bowl, add a pinch of pepper and the ricotta. Mix with a small whisk until you get a smooth mixture.
Lay the puff pastry in the baking pan, prick it with a fork and create a bit of an edge on the sides.
Pour the ricotta and egg mixture inside (2), then add the mushrooms and spinach (3).
Place the tart in a fan oven at 365-375°F and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry is dry and golden.
The savory tart with mushrooms and spinach is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving… enjoy!
