Delicata Squash with a Parsley Pistachio Gremolata over Whipped Ricotta

Delicata squash has become a winter staple in my kitchen. Here I’ve roasted the squash in a mixture of olive oil, honey, garlic, and panko for added crunch. It’s served over whipped ricotta. Yes.. whipped. Trust me, you’ll never go back to plain old ricotta after this. It’s then topped with fresh parsley and pistachio gremolata and a little drizzle of honey.

It’s creamy, extra cheesy, with hints of sage, cinnamon, and honey. Top it off with crispy, buttery fried sage leaves to take it over the top.

This Cucumber Gin Gimlet is simple, refreshing, and perfect for summer. And I mean… look at that color!

The pea blossoms give it that beautiful indigo hue!
