Ingredients

320g ready rolled puff pastry
2 tbsp Belazu Chilli and Basil Pesto
400g cherry vine tomatoes, halved
125g ricotta
25g pecorino, shaved

Method

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Unroll the pastry on a baking sheet, roll out a little across the shorter side to make more of a square shape, then cut into a circle using an upturned dinner plate as a guide. Use a sharp knife to mark a 1cm border around the edge, then prick the central area with a fork.
Spread the pesto inside the border, then add the tomatoes, cut-side up. Dot spoonfuls of the ricotta on top. Season, then bake for 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp. Serve straight away with the pecorino scattered over.
