Garlic Cheese Sauce I

Yield: About 2 cups

• 1 clove of garlic, crushed or grated finely
• 2 tbsp ricotta or chevre
• 2 ounces cream cheese or neufchatel
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp each dried basil, marjoram and oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/8 tsp (a dash) hot paprika or cayenne
• 2 green onions, minced
• 1/2 ounce Parmesan, Asiago or Romano
• salt and pepper, to taste

Combine all in a small bowl and beat together thoroughly. Alternatively, combine all in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the sauce is thick and mixed well.

Spread over a pre-baked pizza crust as a sauce, slices of french bread for a soft, garlicky spread or over savory crepes and pancakes.
