Baked ricotta
You cannot go wrong with this recipe. Honestly, it’s so easy and everyone just loves it. Serve it either as a sort of dip, hot out of the oven, or leave it to cool to room temperature and then cut it into wedges with a salad, some bread and perhaps a plate of paper-thin pink prosciutto. The latter is my pick as the flavours seem to be much more delicious and rounded at room temperature.
