Peach Ricotta Tart
Ingredients
4 large, ripe peaches
1 16-ounce container ricotta cheese
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 1-pound ball pizza dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Drop the peaches into the water for 10 seconds. Remove and rinse under cold water. Use a small knife to slip off the skins.
