Add ½ teaspoon salt, grated garlic, cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream, parmesan, garlic powder, parsley, chives, and asiago cheese. Using a rubber spatula, combine the ingredients until thorough mixed. Taste; adjust with seasonings as desired.
- DISH IT: Transfer dip to a small baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with mozzarella cheese.

- SERVE: Drizzle with white truffle oil and warm with crostini slices, crackers, or potato chips.
Notes
- Room Temperature: Make sure the cream cheese, ricotta, and sour cream are all at room temperature so that it's easier to fold the dip ingredients together.
- Roasted Garlic: You can roast the garlic heads up to 2 days in advance. Once cooled squeeze the garlic out and pop into an airtight container, refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. You can freeze up to 2 months.
