Ingredients
Method
1. Put the ricotta in a bowl with the parmesan, flour, egg and lemon zest. Season and mix together; set aside. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and toss together with the basil, spinach, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and pine nuts; season.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and, cooking in batches, spoon in heaped tablespoons of the mixture to make 3 or 4 cakes, flattening them slightly. Cook over a medium-high heat for a few minutes until golden, then turn with a palette knife and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes. Put on a warm plate, cover with foil and repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve at once with the tomato and spinach salad.
