Fantastic recipe!  I love, love, love it!  My store was out of the single 4oz burrata cheese and then I remembered I had a ricotta to use up and found your recipe.  Now I may not need burrata again.  The chopped tomatoes and herbs and olive oil is really delicious, too!

Looks fabulous. Can I make this ahead of time. If so how far ahead ( having a Befana Party ) Thank you

Love your recipes that remind me so much of my mom… Nice to have someone making these recipes that are really Italian…

I tried this today, I could not get ricotta where I am and so I found a fresh cheese alternative and it was truly amazing. Both me and my partner loved it. I will be doing a Christmas version and a New Year's eve version. Thank you so much for this recipe and your website.
