    Oooh! That looks so good and I love ricotta cheese so I know this dip would be a hit in our house. Did you make this with standard supermarket ricotta or did you use a fresh ricotta?

      Thanks Annemarie and it was sooo good. I did use a standard supermarket ricotta but you could certainly use a fresh one 🙂
