Instructions

In large bowl, combine flour and salt; using pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gather into rough ball. Press dough into bottom and up sides of 9-inch (23 cm) fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Prick all over with fork. Freeze for 5 minutes.

Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let cool completely in pan on rack.

In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, garlic and salt and pepper to taste; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until zucchini is just wilted. Let cool to room temperature.

Scatter olives, basil and half the Parmesan over cooled crust. Arrange zucchini slices evenly over crust; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Arrange tomatoes in circular pattern on top, overlapping slightly.

Garnish: Sprinkle with basil leaves, olives and Parmesan. Serve immediately at room temperature.
