- 1/2 lb tomatoes, small dice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Place tomatoes and garlic in a small baking dish, toss with salt. Prep the rest of your ingredients.
Mix together ricotta, herbs, pepper and garlic powder. Then mix in 1/2 cup of Italian cheese blend.
By this point the tomatoes will have released some of their juices, drain this off. Mix in 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Top with cheese mixture. Add remaining 1/4 cup of cheese to the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown on top.
Serve with toasted bread, pita chips or lasagna chips.
