   Preheat oven to 200°C (180 fan forced).  Roll out 1 portion of pastry on a lightly floured surface until 5mm thick. Line a 35 x 11cm (base measurement) fluted tart tin, with removable base, with the pastry and trim excess. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to rest. Use a fork to prick the base all over. Line with non-stick baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the paper and pastry weights or rice. Bake for a further 5 minutes or until light golden. Set aside to cool. Remove from tin.

   Place the ricotta in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir until smooth. Combine the oil and vinegar in a small bowl.

   Spread the ricotta evenly over the pastry case. Arrange the tomato and bocconcini, slightly overlapping, on top.
