Garlic Ricotta sauce

I used this on left over tri-tip.  That's my cure-all for left-over meat - a fantastic sauce.  However, this would have been nice tossed with pasta as well.

Roast 5-6 garlic cloves in olive oil
pour the oil and cloves in to a fry pan
add a bit more oil and two stalks of green onions, chopped
sautee for a bit and then add two short pours of veggie broth
simmer for 10 minutes
pour into food processor
add:
about 5 ounces of ricotta (two large spoonfulls)
1/4 cup of feta (that's just what i had left)
squeeze juice of half a small lemon

puree.  add some salt and some more oil to taste and alter the texture as you see fit.  this was easy and could be changed around so much with more adventurous cheese choices.
