Prepare the sweet shortcrust pastry by using our basic recipe and refrigerate wrapped in cling film. Prepare the filling for the tart by combining the eggs with the sugar and beating well with a whisk. Then add the vanilla, orange and lemon zest, cinnamon and ricotta. Mix everything well until you get a soft creamy mixture. In a springform cake tin, roll out a base of pastry. With other pieces of the pastry line the sides, which should be fairly high. Pour into the pastry base the creamy cheese mixture and cut the pastry edges so as to be level with the filling. Roll out the rest of the pastry onto a sheet of baking parchment. Using this sheet cover the tart and cut off the excess. Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C; once cooked allow it to cool.
