Few things make dinner feel more effortless than a sheet of puff pastry. This tomato, baby marrow and goat’s cheese tart turns it into a golden, crisp base for juicy tomatoes, tender baby marrows and creamy goat’s cheese, with dried oregano and a drizzle of balsamic to finish. It’s simple enough for a weeknight but pretty enough to serve when you have people over.
