Stir in the basil. If desired, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Return hamburger mixture to liquid in Deep Covered Baker. Cover and microwave 1 – 2 additional minutes.
6. Grate mozzarella cheese with Rotary Grater and set aside. Grate parmesan cheese with Rotary Grater and add to Small Batter Bowl. In Small Batter Bowl, combine the ricotta, the Parmesan, the 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and the pinch of pepper.
7. To serve, place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture in each individual serving bowl, sprinkle with some of the mozzarella, and ladle the soup on top. A good “whirl” of the spoon in the serving bowl will ensure that you get a bit of gooey cheese in every bite!!!
