"When you think of recipes with ricotta, you might picture stuffed shells, cheesy calzones, and crisp cannoli. But these creamy, curdy cheese recipes go beyond those Italian-American classics. Ricotta shows up all over the Epi archives, in savory dinners and appetizers as well as desserts and breakfast dishes. Think vegetable-packed casseroles, cheesy pasta bakes, fluffy ricotta pancakes, elegant cheesecakes, and more."
"If you want to step it up, make your own fresh ricotta. But these ricotta recipes are just as good when you're working with the half-full tub in your fridge."
Ricotta transcends its Italian-American stereotypes of stuffed shells, calzones, and cannoli. The cheese appears in a wide range of savory dinners, appetizers, desserts, and breakfast dishes. Examples include vegetable-packed casseroles, cheesy pasta bakes, fluffy ricotta pancakes, and elegant cheesecakes. Ricotta’s creamy, curdy texture adapts well to both sweet and savory preparations. Home cooks can elevate recipes by making fresh ricotta from scratch. Store-bought ricotta remains a convenient and effective option, making many ricotta recipes work well even when using a half-full tub from the refrigerator.
