Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese and lemon juice. Press the mixed ricotta cheese into a glass loaf pan, making sure it is smooth on top and it is an even thickness. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper.
