The delicate flavor of fresh ricotta is enhanced by stirring in lemon zest and adding chopped herbs (thyme and rosemary), red pepper flakes, and a little grated Parmesan. Bake the resulting mixture in the oven and you'll have a wonderful dipping sauce that can be served with bread as an appetizer to pair with wine, or as part of a cheeseboard. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil before serving. Appetizers like these are a hit at house parties.
