Method

Step 1 of 3

Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with 1 tablespoon of the oil and bake in a preheated oven, 190°C for 5-6 minutes until crisp and golden. Leave to cool on a wire rack while you prepare the pesto.

Step 2 of 3

Cook the peas in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately refresh under cold water. Put the peas in a food processor, add the remaining oil, the garlic, ricotta, lemon juice, mint, Parmesan and salt and pepper and process until fairly smooth.

Step 3 of 3

Spread the crostini with the pesto and serve drizzled with oil.
