Charred Broccolini w/ Whipped Ricotta & Calabrian Chilies

Ingredients

• 1 bunch broccolini
• Olive oil
• Salt
• 1 cup whole-milk ricotta
• Optional, for the whipped ricotta: grated garlic, a drizzle of honey, a squeeze of lemon
• Calabrian chilies, to finish

Directions

• Blend the ricotta until smooth and whipped – on its own, or with a little grated garlic, honey and lemon for flavor.
• Toss the broccolini with olive oil and salt, then char it in a hot pan (or under the broiler) until deeply colored.
• Spread the whipped ricotta on a plate, pile on the charred broccolini, and spoon Calabrian chilies over the top.
