Baked Spiced Cauliflower with Ricotta

1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup good real mayonnaise
1 tsp tarragon, dried
1 tsp smokey Pimenton paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
Dash red flakes
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium cauliflower, broken into small pieces, about 6 cups
1 carrot, peeled and shredded

Preheat oven to 375F. Whisk together the first nine ingredients. In a large bowl, toss in the cauliflower and the carrot. Mix well. Turn into a 2 quart oiled casserole. Bake for 20 minutes covered, and 20 minutes uncovered. Remove from oven and allow to sit for five minutes to reabsorb moisture.

Cooks note: you may want to add a teaspoon Garam Masala if you like more flavorful dishes - and we have made this dish using Greek Yoghurt when out of Ricotta - works well also!
