1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, 1/4 cup parmesan, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
3. Arrange the zucchini slices on a kitchen towel and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then blot away any excess water.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Place the pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the ricotta over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the zucchini over the ricotta in 2-3 even layers. Brush with olive oil. Fold the edges up and over the zucchini. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg and sprinkle with parmesan.
5. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. It's OK if the edges get dark. Spoon the pesto over the warm tart. Top with basil, honey, and sea salt. YUM!
