- Crusty bread or vegetable sticks for serving
Instructions
- Place the ricotta cheese, olive oil, 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
- Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the dip is completely smooth and light.

Notes
- For a thicker dip, use whole milk ricotta and drain any excess liquid before processing.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and beat for 5 minutes until lightened.
- Substitute fresh rosemary for thyme if you prefer a different herbal flavor.
