Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface to a circle shape, about 3mm-4mm thick. Then use the pastry to line a 20cm deep loose-bottomed flan tin. Line with foil and uncooked rice or dry beans and bake for 12–15 minutes until pale golden. Remove foil.
- While the case is cooking, cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until just tender, then drain.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the salad onions and courgette for five minutes until softened and golden, then add the peas and stir together.
- Beat the ricotta with the eggs, milk and seasoning.
- Stir in the peas and onion mixture and use to fill the pastry case and arrange the halved tomatoes around the edge.
