If you’re a fan of spinach and ricotta ravioli or lasagna, you’ll love these savoury tartlets. Creamy ricotta and silky spinach are a match made in heaven, especially when paired with nutmeg to cut through the richness of the ricotta. When making the filling recipe, make sure to squeeze out all the water from the spinach – you don’t want to end up with a soggy bottom! Bake these delights until the pastry just starts to crisp, then leave on a wire rack to cool. This baking recipe is perfect for either storing in the fridge for an on-the-go lunch or packing into a picnic on a warm summer’s day.
