Notes
* Or two cubes of Dorot frozen basil** Or two cubes of Dorot frozen garlicTip: The spinach ricotta freezes well, so you might wish to double the recipe and stash the second half in the freezer for future lasagna, zucchini roll-ups, or calzones. If you do this, make the ricotta in two batches, otherwise it will be too much for the food processor to handle all at once.
