Ciao! I wanted to share a quick recipe that you can whip up in no time at all. It's creamy, salty and beautiful.
The Ricotta we have in Italy (as is everything!) is fantastic. I encourage you, as I always do with my clients, to buy the best ricotta you can find. If you can find it made with Italian milk, that will always be the best!
