4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic, halved
3 tbsps red wine
2 tbsps pine nuts, toasted
1/4 tsp Thyme

Olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
Instructions:
1. Sautée onions on medium-high heat and garlic in olive oil till almost caramelmized. Toss-in mushrooms and cook till wilted.
2. Add wine and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir-in Thyme. Do not cook too long. Once wine reduces, add Truffle Oil, salt and pepper and remove from heat.

4. In small bowl, whisk Ricotta, olive oil, salt and pepper.
