Time 40m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup chopped roasted garlic
1/4 cup chopped roasted shallot
1/2 cup white wine
3 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Stir in the roasted garlic and shallots and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced and the pan is almost dry, about 3 to 5 minutes, to concentrate the flavors of the sauce. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Mix in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the ricotta cheese and about 1/3 of a cup of the garlic mixture into a blender. With the blender on, slowly pour the remaining sauce through the opening in the blender lid; the sauce will thicken.
  • Transfer the sauce back into the saucepan and stir in the basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Use the sauce immediately, or cool quickly by setting in a bowl of ice and water. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or freeze for about 1 month.

I'm not usually a fan of ricotta cheese, but this sauce is delicious! The roasted garlic mellows out the flavor of the ricotta and the two flavors complement each other perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
