Herbed Ricotta Dip

I needed a no-fuss and new appetizer to serve at supper club. This one was inspired by Marie's Herbed Cottage Cheese Dip in Frank Stitt’s Southern Table cookbook. I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese because the chunks gross me out. Serve the dip with crudités (red bell pepper, cucumber, and carrots); bagel chips would also be tasty. I plan to use the leftovers in lasagna. Enjoy!

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with additional pepper and salt to taste.
