MAKES 6 PREP 15 mins COOK 20 mins

1 Heat the oven to 160C Fan/Gas 4.Unroll the pastry and cut into 6 x 12cm squares. Using a knife, mark a narrow border around each and thoroughly prick the area within it - this will help prevent the middle from puffing up. Brush borders with egg or milk, place the squares on a baking sheet and bake for 5-6 mins until starting to colour. 

2 Mix together the ricotta, lemon zest and juice, and the Parmesan. Season well.

3 Remove the pastry squares from the oven, and divide the ricotta mixture between them, spreading out across the inner squares. Divide up the sliced courgettes on top of the ricotta and drizzle with a little oil. Sprinkle over some thyme leaves. 

4 Return the tartlets to the oven and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and cooked through. 

5 Remove from the oven. Drizzle sprinkle over chopped hazelnuts and more thyme.
