Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the ricotta
If ricotta is very wet, drain in a fine-mesh strainer for 30 minutes.
Prepare the lemon
Wash the lemon. Zest to get 1 teaspoon of zest. Cut in half and squeeze to extract 1 tablespoon of juice.
Prepare the garlic
Peel the garlic clove. Mince finely or grate with a microplane.
Prepare the herbs
Wash herbs (such as basil, chives, or dill). Chop finely.
Whip the ricotta
In a food processor, combine ricotta, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Process for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a hand mixer or whisk vigorously by hand.
Add flavorings
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey. Pulse to combine.
Fold in herbs
Transfer whipped ricotta to a bowl. Fold in chopped herbs, reserving some for garnish.
Adjust seasoning
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve
Transfer to a serving bowl. Create a well in the center with the back of a spoon. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with reserved herbs. Serve with crudités, bread, or crackers.
Storage
Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
