Ricotta pear tart
The Italian fresh cheese Ricotta scores with valuable minerals; among others, it contains phosphorus and potassium. The latter plays a role in the transmission of nerve impulses and is therefore important for muscle contraction, heart function, and regulation of blood pressure. It also contains various essential vitamins such as vitamin A and different B vitamins.
Alternatively, the ricotta pear tart can also be prepared with other fruit. Whether summery with strawberries or cherries, or in winter with apples and cinnamon - the possibilities are endless so let your creativity run wild!
