- 1 tablespoon Fustini's 18 Year Traditional balsamic
- 2 sprigs of fresh basil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta or goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Fustini's Ligure Pesto

- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse mozzarella, ricotta, cream, and 3/4 teaspoon salt, adding up to 2 tablespoons more cream a bit at a time if needed, until creamy and spreadable, about 1 minute. Season to taste with more salt, if desired.
- Spread mozzarella mixture onto a platter and dollop with pesto. Scrape burst tomatoes and any accumulated juices over, season with black pepper. Serve with grilled bread, bread, crackers, or crudité,s.
