Instructions

  1. First, make the whipped ricotta. In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, basil, lemon zest, honey, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer to whip the ricotta until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the chickpeas, marinara sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil.
  4. Serve with a dollop of whipped ricotta on top and crusty bread on the side. The ricotta will melt into the chickpeas, and you can dip your bread into the heavenly sauce!
