Homemade Ricotta

Cultural Context

Ricotta cheese has its roots in Italy, traditionally made from the whey left over from cheese production. It is a staple in Italian cuisine, used in dishes like lasagna, cannoli, and various pasta recipes. Making ricotta at home allows for a fresher taste and the ability to customize flavors, making it a delightful addition to both savory and sweet dishes. Today, ricotta is enjoyed globally, with variations appearing in many culinary traditions.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Heat whole milk and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until just below boiling, about 10 minutes.

2

Remove from heat and stir in white vinegar and salt until combined.

3

Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow curds to form.

4

Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl.

5

Pour the curds and whey into the strainer, allowing the whey to drain for 15-20 minutes.

6

Gather the cheesecloth and twist to squeeze out excess whey for a firmer texture.

7

Transfer the ricotta to a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs to taste.

8

Drizzle with olive oil before serving.
