For a start, the list of ingredients is very short. You’ll need either raw or frozen spinach. Either works perfectly. The secret to this tart’s success is to have a fairly spinach ricotta mix. This way, it will keep the shape shape you give it. And secondly, the texture will be nice and soft after baking. It is really simple to have a thick mix. Once the spinach is cooked, squeeze it between your hands to extract as much water as possible. Then all you have to do is mix it with ricotta, eggs, garlic and a little basil.

The rest is a matter of dressing and cutting.
This pastry wreath is really easy to make.
Let me explain! Unroll your pastry dough. Place a bowl in the center. Spread the filling around the bowl, leaving 1cm to 1.5cm on the sides. Fold up the sides. Remove the bowl. Finally, cut the center of the dough in a star shape to obtain 8 small “triangles”. Fold them over the tart. And that’s it! You’vz got your Spinach and ricotta pastry wreath !
Simple really! No ?
