In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil then add 1 pound of roughly chopped mushrooms. Cook, while stirring, for a few minutes until they begin to brown.

Add 1 clove of grated garlic, ¼ teaspoon of salt and ground black pepper each, and 1 spring of finely chopped fresh rosemary. Cook for 2 minutes then set aside for about 10 minutes to cool.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor and add 8 ounces of ricotta cheese. Blend until smooth then season with salt and pepper to taste.
