Needs lots of black pepper and some red pepper for a kick. Use zest and juice from 1/2 lemon. Replaced Ricotta with cream cheese since this is what I had.

I grew up eating a middle eastern version of this made with feta , cream cheese milk, garlic and lots of black pepper in the blender , also some shredded “ normal “ cheese like Swiss emmentaler , lemon adds as well to this , it’s my favorite pasta sauce ! This one is nice as well

This was Ok but not something I would go to regularly. Needed something to bright it up a bit.
