Whipped Ricotta with Balsamic Tomatoes
I wish I could take all the credit for this recipe but I cannot. My good friend Zach introduced this deliciousness to me on the 4th of July this year, when we visited Rafaldini Vineyards in North Carolina. I watched as he assembled the plate and added it to the table with the rest of…
