I love ricotta: just a pinch of salt and it becomes a pleasant ingredient to pair with vegetables and/or salad for a complete meal! On the blog there are many sweet and savory recipes I have made and today with this new ricotta cake with walnuts and chocolate chips I baked this rich and creamy dessert, very enjoyable to taste.
You will also find on the blog a simple and extremely easy recipe to make ricotta at home, a true delight!
Homemade ricotta is also the base element of many regional recipes, a fantastic heritage of our nation such as Maremma-style tortelli, Neapolitan pastiera, cassata, cannoli and much more!
TIPS
Ricotta is not a cheese but a dairy product produced, therefore, not with rennet but with the whey left over from cheese production. It is a very versatile product as already mentioned and used for all courses of the menu; it is a appreciated source of proteins and minerals including calcium.
RICOTTA IS a low-calorie product and easily digestible, suitable also for children’s diets!
