| I bought some fresh ricotta at a farm stand and it looks really good. What should I make with it? No pasta/lasagna… thanks! |

| Well, it's traditionally used for pasta or desserts - but you can use in quiche, you can bake it and serve it with good honey and bread. |

Meatballs. Mix the ricotta with ground Turkey, parm, basil, parsley and garlic and back in oven. They are delicious without pasta, over a salad, in a sandwich, straight out of the oven or fridge.
1 1/2 c ricotta 1/2 c shredded parm 2 lbs ground turkey, the 93% or higher fat kind, not the only white meat one 1 cup chopped basil 1 cup chopped parsley Salt and pepper Mix and form meatballs. Drizzle with olive oil and bake 425 for 25-28 min |

This is an amazing ziti recipe. It calls for dollops of ricotta. My kids devour it & I always have leftovers for lunches.

This. If it's fresh, raw is best. |

I make a traditional Indian sweet called kalakand. This can be made in microwave and it is basically idiot proof and delicious.
