Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple makes this simple herbed ricotta for almost all of his parties because it’s such a crowd-pleaser. It’s addictive spread on toasted bread but is also perfect served with crudités. Slideshow: More Ricotta Recipes

Justin Chapple has created a real crowd-pleaser here. I went the extra step to make the ricotta fresh, amazing friends with the cheesemaking skills too. ;)

Rave reviews on this from my guests. DELICIOUS. I used a bit more zest and a bit less lemon juice.
