Pastor Ryan’s Roasted Ricotta Roma Tomatoes

Start out by washing and halving your Roma tomatoes. After halving them, gut out the insides (seeds, etc.) with a spoon. Sprinkle a bit of kosher salt inside each tomato. Discard guts and lay the halved, gutted tomatoes face down on a clean towel. Chop up your herbs and garlic and mix with the Ricotta cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Next, fill each tomato half with a nice heap of the Ricotta mixture. In a food processor (or if you don't have a food processor, you can mash in a plastic baggy with a rolling pin) crumble about 15-20 Ritz crackers. Or you can use dried bread crumbs from your favorite kind of bread if you want. Press each ricotta filled tomato half face down into the crackers/crumbs and then place face up on a baking sheet. Drizzle each tomato with a bit of olive oil. Place in 400 º oven for 25-30 minutes.
