GOOEY PIZZA DIP

By bjnelson55

Pepperoni, tomatoes and olives dress up this cheesy baked dip. I serve it with breadsticks and wedges of baked Boboli. You can even prepare individual servings in ramekins if you like.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat ricotta cheese
• 1 cup fat-free mayonnaise
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3/4 cup diced seeded plum tomatoes, divided
• 1 can (2-1/2 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained, divided
• 1/4 cup sliced turkey pepperoni
