Let’s make the shortcrust
In a food processor put the flour, a pinch of salt, the eggs,
the cold butter cut into pieces and the baking powder
pulse until you obtain a compact mixture.
Take about three quarters of the dough and press it directly into the pan with your hands,
lining the base and sides.
Prick the bottom with a fork.
Prepare the filling
Let the ricotta drain to remove excess liquid.
Grate the zucchini, add a pinch of salt and let rest for a few minutes.
When they have released their water, squeeze them well and add them to the ricotta.
Add the eggs,
Add a little salt, turmeric and spices to taste and mix until you get a creamy mixture.
Assembly
Pour the filling over the shortcrust base and level well.
Crumble the remaining dough over the filling to create the savory mimosa effect.
Baking
Bake at 356°F for about 50 minutes.
Let cool slightly before removing from the pan.
