asparagus and ricotta tarts adulterated from Donnahay

This is an easy little, throw it together number for a Sunday brunch or a low key dinner.

serves 4 fashionista, 20 models and 1teenage boy:

1 sheet ready-prepared butter puff pastry, thawed
¾ cup (150g) fresh ricotta
1 cup (80g) finely grated parmesan
⅓ cup chervil leaves
1 finely grated lemon rind
sea salt and cracked black pepper
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
olive oil, for brushing
chervil sprigs, to serve
lemon wedges, to serve

  • Pour a big fat wine.
  • Guzzle.
  • Throw on a Prada banana skirt for fun.
  • Pull on Prada lace up brogues for comfort .
  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC for cooking.
  • Cut out four 12cm x 6cm rectangles from the pastry sheet.
  • Throw on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper.
  • Score a 1cm border on each rectangle so that you have nice little borders and the ricotta doesn’t ooze out. Like a muffin top.
  • Pour another wine.
  • Find a bowl and throw in the ricotta, parmesan, lemon rind, chervil, salt and pepper in a bowl and give it a good stir to combine. Think face mask.
  • Spoon the ricotta mixture onto the pastry and top with the asparagus.
  • Brush the pastry borders so it moisturized with the oil.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed as Puff Diddy and golden as a Chloe bag.
  • Accessorise with the chic chervil and a squeeze or two of lemon.
  • Delicious!
