By Cindy

Ingredients

• 1 bulb garlic
• EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
• Salt and pepper
• 8 ounces fresh ricotta

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Cut the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Brush with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly in foil and roast 40-45 minutes; let cool.
In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta, thyme and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
Once garlic bulb is cool, squeeze all of the garlic cloves out and mash them into the ricotta mixture with a fork.
