This dish creates a fantastic combination between the acidity of the tomatoes and the light sweetness of the ricotta. You will need about 20 minutes to prepare the dish and another 20 to bake it to perfection. The result is a sweet, delicious treat that is still under 250 calories. A combination of cheese and tomato is always a delight for the senses, but that added honey and a bit of pesto make this a meal you can't stop eating.
