Mix the ricotta cheese with eggs . Prepare white sauce: melt butter in medium saucepan, add flour , stirring until smooth. Add milk slowly using whisk. Cook slowly until sauce is smooth and thickened. Add dry mustard, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in wine and 1/2 of the Parmesam cheese. In small pan, sauteegarlic in oil. Remove garlic, add oil to sauce.
