Recipe by Ruth Cousineau The shortbread-like crust stands up well to a luscious ricotta filling that's topped with pretty port-stained pears. Larger pear wedges are stunning; you can also cut the pears into thin slices and arrange spokelike on top. Prepa

Ingredients

  • 4.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup port wine
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 (2-inch) strip lemon rind
  • 3 small peeled Bosc pears, cored and halved lengthwise
  • 3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk, divided
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °.
  2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup. Combine flour, cornmeal, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and rosemary in the bowl of a food processor; pulse 2 times to combine. With processor on, slowly add oil through food chute; process until crumbly. Press cornmeal mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch round fluted removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray. Chill 10 minutes. Line bottom of dough with a piece of foil coated with cooking spray; arrange pie weights or dried beans on foil. Bake at 375 ° for 20 minutes. Remove weights and foil; cool on a wire rack.
  3. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, port, 3/4 cup water, and lemon rind strip in a medium saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Add pears; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 9 minutes or until pears are tender when pierced with a knife. Remove pears with a slotted spoon; cool slightly. Cut lengthwise into wedges. Increase heat to high. Bring port mixture to a boil; cook 6 minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup. Discard lemon rind strip.
  4. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup milk, cornstarch, and yolk in a small saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat; stir in ricotta, yogurt, 1 teaspoon grated rind, and vanilla. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
  5. Spread ricotta mixture evenly over bottom of crust. Arrange pear wedges over ricotta mixture. Drizzle with port mixture.
