This .got it froma thread about Silverbeet usesin General .its sooo yummmmy !
Ricotta and Silverbeet Lasagne
1kg silverbeet, trimmed3 eggs, beaten lightly 400g ricotta cheese¼ cup parmesan cheese (grated) 3 spring onions, finely chopped1½ cups pasta sauce 1 package chilled lasagne sheets1 cup grated cheese
Boil or steam silverbeet until just wilted. Drain. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the silverbeet, then chop coarsely. In a bowl combine; egg, ricotta, parmesan and spring onion. Mix together then stir through the silverbeet. Spread half the pasta sauce over the base of a shallow, oiled baking dish. (Mine measures 34x 27cm) Cover with lasagne sheets trimmed to fit, then top with ⅓ of the silverbeet mixture. Repeat layering, ending with the top being a bare layer of the lasagne sheets. Top with the rest of the pasta sauce; sprinkle the cup of cheese over. Cover dish with foil and bake in moderate oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for a further 20 minutes or until nicely browned.

There is a recipe on HFG that uses ricotta on a home made pizza using wholemeal pitas as a base.

i used to make tons of these when at the cafe, I used flaked potato but you could use proper ones, spuds, onion, garlic, salt/pepper, spinach and ricotta then I piped it onto savoury pastry and rolled like a sausage roll cut into lengths and baked till golden, served these with a salad and plum sauce. Sorry I cant give quantities as I made the mix up by the bucket full, if I were to make them at home I would just go by taste.
