Ina Garten has a Blueberry Ricotta Breakfast Cake that is amazing. We sub chocolate chips for blueberries and have it for dessert. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/blueberry-ricotta-breakfast-cake-13571974

I also like ricotta gnocchi (it’s used instead of potato so it’s very light).

I love ricotta as a topping for toast, to add to scrambled eggs, top pizza, or baked eggs (uovo in purgatorio)

In place of sour cream in baked goods. I did a chocolate chip cake with ricotta last weekend.

All these suggestions make me want to go out and buy more.

Recently made pancakes from a pint never used. Then froze them for future breakfasts.

I use it as a topping for lasagna soup. So much faster than real lasagna
