Ricotta cheese, also known as ricotta ricotta or ricotta ranch, is a dairy-free ricotta that can be used in the classic cheese dishes, such as risotto, ravioli or pesto.
It’s also popular with Italian families for its crunchy texture.
The name comes from the ricotta’s creamy texture, which allows the cheese to be stirred in a sauce, or ricinole.
Ricotta ricochets have also been made with other ingredients like Parmesan, egg and cream.
“There are a lot of different things you can do with ricotta,” said Melissa Stoddard, associate professor of nutrition at Ryerson University.
“It’s a great ingredient for ricotta and ricotta parmesan.
It can be mixed with other cheeses and made into a ricotta sauce.”
A little bit of ricotta can go a long way in a dish.
It makes for a rich and creamy ricotta base.
