- Score a border with a sharp knife around 2cm from the edge all the way round the pastry. Glaze the top edge with a little beaten egg. Use a fork to prick the base all over, and then spread the pesto on top. Top with the courgettes, arranging them over the base and then tuck the marinated peppers evenly on top.

- Bake for 20min until the tart is risen and golden. Cut into slices and serve straight away with a green salad.
