Tomatoes stuffed with ricotta cheese and basil pesto

Ingredients

FOR 4 PEOPLE: 8 round tomatoes - 280 g dry ricotta cheese - 20 g grated Parmesan cheese - 1 lemon - 1 jar of D'Amico Basil Pesto - extra virgin olive oil to taste - fresh basil - salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash the tomatoes and cut off the top. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the inside of the tomatoes, then turn them upside down on a cloth for a few minutes to allow excess water to drain out.

Pour the ricotta into a bowl, add the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, grated lemon zest, and a few tablespoons of basil pesto. Mix everything together until smooth and use to stuff the tomatoes.

Place them on a plate with salad or arugula. Garnish the ricotta with slightly diluted pesto and a sprig of fresh basil.
