Instructions
- This recipe originally appeared on Giada Entertains: Giada's Dinner Party.
- For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt on a small rimmed baking sheet and toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes have popped and are beginning to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- For the spicy honey: Meanwhile, combine the honey, Calabrian chile, salt and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
- For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk together the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bread and grill until golden brown and toasted, about 4 minutes per side. Divide the ricotta among the bread slices. Top with the tomatoes and drizzle with spicy honey. Scatter the basil over the top.

This was amazing!! Made it for my book club….everyone asked for the recipe. Yummy
"Wow!" said my husband; he loved this dish :) Not only was this recipe delicious, but it also gave me the opportunity to use some of my beautiful, garden-fresh tomatoes and basil – and our Calabrian chile paste. This will certainly be a summer recipe keeper!
