Instructions
- Prepare the crust by pulsing flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor.

- Add ice water and pulse, then form the dough into a ball and wrap it in cling wrap.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or overnight.
- Butter a 9-inch tart pan and dust it with flour.
- Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into the tart pan, then chill until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line the tart pan with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, baking for 10 minutes.
- Remove the parchment and weights, and bake until the crust is a pale golden color, about 5 minutes more.
- Cool the shell on a wire rack.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- In a mixer, beat ricotta and mascarpone until smooth, then add egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest, mixing until combined.
- Spread the filling in the cooled tart shell and bake for 35 minutes, rotating once during baking.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Arrange sliced strawberries on the tart and dust with confectioners sugar before serving.
