Design a Spread

Combine a soft cheese like goat cheese or ricotta with
chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, grated garlic or a favorite
condiment to make a quick sandwich spread. You can also
use the spread on crostini, or dollop it onto hot pasta for a fun,
fast dinner. ( I like Against the Grain Baguettes and Schar or
Jovial pasta.) Yummy!
