Sea salt and cracked black pepper

4 cups              fresh ricotta

½ cup               milk

1 cup                oregano leaves, finely chopped

8                       store-bought marinated long-stem artichokes, thinly sliced

9 cups              kale, stems removed, leaves shredded and blanched 
                         squeeze to remove excess water

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place half the zucchini on two large baking trays lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with two teaspoons of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 12-15 minutes until tender. Repeat with remaining zucchini, salt and pepper.
