With a large knife, chop through the dough so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Quickly knead by hand into a smooth dough. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
For the filling: Peel the shallots and finely chop.
Rinse the spinach and herbs. Pick the herbs from the stems and chop finely.
Toss together the spinach, herbs, and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface and line the pan with the dough. Make sure to pull up the edge of the dough. Place 12 dollops of spinach filling into the tart pan. Rinse the tomatoes and place in the tart pan on the spinach. Mix the ricotta with the cream and pour over the spinach. Sprinkle with cheese.
