For a lighter, healthier take on the creamy, cheesy classic, try this update made with ricotta. The savory spread makes an excellent Thanksgiving starter.

I made this recipe using two types kale from my winter CSA share. Although it tasted very good as written, I made a few additions since I will be taking it to a very classy dinner party and I want to impress. I added used a food processor to chop up the kale and tossed in a few cloves of garlic. I used a combination of WV ramp salt and spice house porcini salt and added toasted pine nuts and a bit of grated Gouda. I must say, it's really delicious!

Great recipe. Martha, I would like to see your own channel for MSL in all aspects, perhaps on Chrome-cast or Netflix. I do enjoy the many different MSL Experts sharing their favorite crafts and cooking techniques. It represents the inspired idea of true Martha Stewart Living - a way of life. The art of living, Martha Stewart Living!
