Defrosting my fridge tonight (every 3 or 4 months, it starts sounding like there's an idling moped in my kitchen) so wanted to use up some of the spoilables inside -- namely a tub of ricotta that I ordered from Peapod this weekend.
I wasn't in the mood for anything super fancy, so while I was boiling water for pasta, I threw into a small bowl:
- A small handful of Kalamata olives (pitted)
- A clove of garlic
- A tablespoon of olive oil
- A few shakes of lemon pepper
- About a quarter cup plus of the ricotta
I turned it all into a paste with a hand-held stick blender, and tossed it with some linguini, and topped it with some of the cherry tomatoes from my front yard. All in all, it took about 5 minutes of effort (not including the time to make the pasta). I'm pretty sure I'll be trying this again -- nice, simple and tasty.
