My first experiment with Ricotta cheese. Easy to make and quick to serve! J
Ingredients
Package frozen peas, thawed
1 cup ricotta
2 tablespoons garlic infused olive oil, plus more for toasting bread
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
Salt and black pepper
Bread piece sliced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the peas and put them into a food processor and pulse until chunky. Add the ricotta to combine. While the processor is running, pour in the oil. Transfer the puree to a serving bowl, then stir in the mint and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the bread on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with some garlic infused olive oil. Toast in the oven until light golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Spread the pea puree over the toasts and serve.

LasagnaThe first memories of the word lasagna i ever had were that from the comic strip Garfield where the lazy cat was forever feasting upon this scrumptious delight. After being considerably convinced that it was not cat food, i continued to wonder as to what this marvellous looking dish was all about. The next mention of this dish was of course in the ever popular series 'FRIENDS' which introduced me to many names that initially made no sense to me. "What was this commitment phobia and why is that dialogue so funny" was my constant question. Soon i understood. But…
