Ricotta and Butternut Squash Tart~

We watch Josée Di Stasio on Friday nights..her show is great..one of the guests shared this recipe..It looked too good on tv to pass up~


You start by blind baking your Pâte Brisée at the same time..temp and length of baking time as the squash..

Then when the blind baked tart is cooled..you add your mixture of Ricotta..egg yolks..parmesan cheese..etc..

I would definitely make this again..but I would kick it up a notch..I would add quite a bit of fresh thyme to the ricotta mixture..and more salt and pepper..It needs a bit more oomph.And I am not certain I would not roast a bit more squash and purée it..and add to the ricotta.Not too much..just enough.
