Ricotta tart

Ricotta cheese is so delicious and this tart is full of it! This is a wonderful dish to make in the spring because you will be able to find locally grown green onions and chives, maybe even dill! We ate this for dinner last night, although this dish would be wonderful for brunch too. This recipe was modified from Cook.ing Light June 2010
