In a bowl, combine ricotta, cream cheese, Parmesan, heavy cream, and mashed roasted garlic. Mix until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.Preheat the Oven:

Notes
Quick Garlic Hack: Roast peeled cloves instead of a full bulb for a faster method.
Frozen Spinach: Works well if drained and squeezed dry.
Storage: Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge; reheat at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
Grilled Version: Grill dough on both sides before topping for a smoky summer twist.
