Ingredients

How to make it

  • For Pastry Tart

  • Spray large cookie sheet or similar pan with cooking spray.
  • Lay pastry sheet on tray, all sections opened. See Photo
  • Carefully roll sheet with small rolling pin or similar, to an create an area approx 10X12 or so, rectangle.
  • With fork, poke several holes in bottom of pastry, but do this only towards the middle of the pastry, not around the edges.
  • Combine beaten egg and garlic powder and lightly brush entire surface of pastry. See Photo
  • Melt butter in large skillet(I use cast iron) and add onion. Cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and continue to cook a few more minutes See Photo. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • In large glass bowl, combine ricotta and Mozzarella cheeses, lemon juice, fresh ground pepper, salt and the mushrooms and onion See Photo. Mix well.
  • Spread mixture over pastry leaving about 1 inch around all edges. See Photo
  • Lay spinach across top of mushroom mixture in single or double layer.(I did one layer, but will do 2, next time) See Photo
  • Carefully bring sides up just slightly over spinach mixture, "tucking" slightly at the corners to form a very short rim around mixture. See Photo
  • Bake at 400 for about 17-20 minutes until lightly browned. See Photo
  • For Marinara

  • Combine all ingredients and let simmer entire time you are preparing, and cooking, the pastry.
  • To Serve

  • Cut sections of pastry into serving sizes. Top with a spoonful of marinara and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • This is really good served with grilled Italian sausage links!

    I've been wanting to make this for a while now & am doing it for dinner tonight. I'm about to put in in the oven, had to make a few changes to suit what I had on hand. First, I bought Pillsbury Pizza Dough b/c they didn't have puff pastry. Second, I forgot to pick up eggs so I brushed the dough with olive oil & mixed some "bread dipping mix" along with the garlic powder. Finally, I used shallots instead of red onion. I wasn't sure when to add the lemon juice (sometimes I miss things that are right in front of my face!), so I put in in the cheese mixture. I'm serving it with chicken sausage w/provolone &sun-dried tomatoes. Also, I cooked this on a pizza stone (not previously heated). I'll let you know how it turns out, I'm sure it will be great!

    Great post Keni. A nice, somple dish but a great combo. Too bad I can't buy ready made puff pastry here. A lot of dishes that call for puff pastry never get made cause I'm too lazy to make the pastry. I'll make a special effort for this one, or con my wife into making the pastry. The Italian snags are a nice addition. RJ
