What it is

Ricotta is a soft Italian cheese that is typically made from the whey left over from the production of other cheeses. It is known for its delicate curd and smooth consistency, making it versatile in both sweet and savory dishes. This particular variety comes in a convenient 62-gram container.

How people cook with it

Ricotta cheese is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for adding richness and a subtle dairy note to a wide range of recipes.

• Filling for lasagna

• Ingredient in cheesecakes
• Adding to pasta sauces

This ricotta cheese can be used straight from the container in many applications. For baked dishes like lasagna or stuffed shells, it is often mixed with eggs, herbs, and other cheeses before being layered. It can also be gently warmed and stirred into pasta sauces to create a creamier consistency. For desserts, it forms the base of many no-bake cheesecakes or can be sweetened and served as a simple, elegant treat. Its mild flavor allows it to blend seamlessly into various flavor profiles.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to other soft cheeses like cottage cheese, ricotta has a smoother, less granular texture. It is also generally milder in flavor than mozzarella and less tangy than goat cheese. The whole milk content contributes to its richer mouthfeel.
