I made a pint of ricotta yesterday after making the colby cheese.
What can I make? Please don't say lasagna. Something without meat. Do you have a favorite thing you do with ricotta?

Manicotti. I don't use meat in mine, just cheeses (including ricotta) and spinach. And I totally agree with tenbusybees - cannoli. I LOVE THEM! |

Spinach ravioli.
Stuffing:
1 lb Cooked spinach
8 oz Ricotta cheese
4 oz Grated cheese; Parmesan for light flavor, or Roma for something more robust
2 Egg yolks
1 Tbsp Breadcrumbs
Nutmeg, Salt, Pepper to taste
Blend together in a food processor

I love all the ideas, thank you so much. I was too tired to get overly involved in the cannolies but they sound divine. The ravioli, omgosh I love that but I couldn't get into it. I think my tiredness from the cooler weather is really getting me lately. I ended up making some stuffed tomatoes with a green pepper sauce. I had thought, oh stuffed mushrooms but big mushroom caps are expensive and I've got tomatoes. So I crossed the mushroom caps off the shopping list. I cooked some chard from the garden (instead of spinach and your ideas helped), some onion, then added the ricotta and seasoned it with nutmeg and s&p. Cooked up 4 green peppers, onion, garlic, in chicken flavored base w/water, once cooked I whizzed it with the immersion blender into a sauce. A cooking friend taught me to make some enchilada sauce like that but it is good with just green sweet peppers too. Hollowed out some tomatoes, filled with the ricotta mixture, topped and surrounded with the pepper sauce and then baked for 30 minutes. I essentially made it without extra carbs in the form of sugar or flour (though I love raviolis or perogies so much) and I was able to get 4 vegetables into it.
EDIT: it was good, the tomatoes gave some acid to the creamy ricotta and it balanced really well. I seasoned each item with salt to taste. The sauce was excellent.

feather, you could stuff zucchini with ricotta too, it's really good. You may want to drain the ricotta first though since the zucchini adds a lot of water.

My DD sautéed it with fresh green beans, I think mushrooms, and something else
She is a gourmet style cook and you never know what she will put together but
without fail it is good.
