Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the peas and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
Drain, put them into a food processor and pulse until chunky.
Add the ricotta and pulse to combine. While the processor is running, pour in the oil in a slow steady stream.
Transfer the puree to a serving bowl, then stir in the mint and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Arrange the bread on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with some garlic infused olive oil. Toast in the oven until light golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Spread the pea puree over the toasts and serve.
