Santa Baby

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
George Carlin

Today is for all of us who need to let our spicy bad girls out once in awhile to enjoy themselves. Have fun and enjoy the bling, bling of life.

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cups thinly sliced red onions

8 thin slices prosciutto
1 cup ricotta cheese
Fresh rosemary sprigs Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sugar. Cook until dark brown and tender, stirring frequently, about 16 minutes.
