I have a container of ricotta that I purchased to make lasagna, for an event that got canceled. Don't want to make lasagna or pasta.
What are some other simple and easy things I can use ricotta in or for? |

I use it as a pizza topping, similar to this except I don't use egg or balsamic: https://menumusings.blogspot.com/2012/12/ricotta-pizza-with-fresh-and-roasted.html
I love the mix of the fresh and roasted tomatoes on top. |

| I too use it as a pizza topping, usually ricotta, lemon zest, some microplaned garlic, salt, chili flake or calabrian. I do little dollops around the pizza of this mixture. |

I spread it on bread, like a cream cheese, and add jam or berries or avocado, etc.

Roast a bunch of broccoli with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic (real or powder), and crushed red pepper.
Toast a slice of good crusty bread and smear it (thick) with ricotta. Top with squeeze of lemon, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Heap and smush the roasted broccoli on top. From smitten kitchen and it’s SO GOOD! |

| We make ricotta pancakes and they are the best pancakes I've ever had in my entire life. They taste nothing like ricotta, but are fluffy and amazing. |
