Green Olives with Whipped Ricotta

Add ricotta to a food processor and whip until smooth. You can add a touch of olive oil if you need to. Add EVOO, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to a pan on medium low heat. Stir until garlic is fragrant and add chopped parsley. Turn off the heat and set aside. In a dish, spread whipped ricotta evenly and add the green olives. Take the pan and pour the olive oil/parsley mix on top and garnish with lemon zest and pistachios. Finish with a little more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
