Charred Broccolini w/ Whipped Ricotta

This is the second dish of my Sides That’ll Steal the Spotlight series, where I explore different side dishes that’ll become the star of the table. Here, I made charred broccolini with whipped ricotta. Whipped ricotta is super simple and easy way to impress. It can be as simple as just blending some ricotta, or you can use other ingredients to incorporate flavor like garlic, honey, and lemon like I did. Fatty components in dishes bring lusciousness and an elevated mouthfeel, and to me a nicely charred broccolini and Calabrian chiles creates a perfectly balanced bite.
