Ricotta Cheese! I have a few great recipes that require almost double the amount I have left over and don't want to buy any more if I can help it. I'd just like to use up what I have left.which is 200g. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Ricotta makes a nice salad dressing if you whip in some extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, garlic and fresh herbs.

Thanks for your suggestion.LOVE Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli, but I've just made Ricotta and Parmesan Gnocchi to which I'm going to add the rest of a gorgeous homemade tomato sauce from last night.always nicer the next day! LOL

Thanks davidt4.I'm going to remember this.sounds really nice and definitely a low fat alternative to a regular salad dressing. Would be be as nice with Balsamic vinegar!

I wouldn't use Balsamic vinegar in a ricotta dressing as I think it would be too sweet and overpowering.Red wine vinegar has a cleaner taste.

Ricotta pancakes with lemon & sugar 11/4 cups s.r. flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup buttermilk 3 eggs, separated 1 cup fresh ricotta lemon wedges to serve. Place the flour, baking soda, sugar, vanilla, buttermilk and egg yokes in a bowl and wisk to combine. P)lace the egg whites in a separate bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold the ricotta and egg whites through the buttermilk mixture. Heat in a large lightly greased non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook 1/4 cup of the mixture in batches for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Serve with lemon and sprinkle with extra caster sugar. Serves 4. This is out of the Donna Hay Food. do hope it helps

Thanks mary92.I always have pancakes with just lemon and sugar but have never made them with Ricotta cheese and buttermilk before. Will definitely be trying these in the near future. I recently made pancakes using sourdough starter and they were really light and "fluffy".
