1
Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until soft and golden brown.
2
Prepare the Peas
While the garlic is roasting, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the fresh peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
3
Make the Ricotta Mixture
Once the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, roasted garlic (squeezed out of the skins), lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4
Assemble the Dish
Spread the roasted garlic ricotta mixture onto a serving platter. Top with the cooked peas and arrange the prosciutto slices on top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
5
Serve
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired, and serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal.
