RICOTTA CHEESE AND BASIL FLATBREAD



Ricotta Cheese and Basil Flatbread image

"I love how simple this recipe is to put together, just roll out the dough, bake and top. Everyone loves a flatbread and the crunchy texture of the pecans really brings out the smoothness of the ricotta and the fresh, sweet flavor of the basil leaves. It's the kind of appetizer or snack that just leaves people wanting more. The nuts on top of the ricotta have a flavorful way of bringing all of these ingredients together." -Alex Guarnaschelli
