Ricotta Cheese Appetizers – FAQs and Notes

What can I use ricotta cheese for?

Ricotta cheese can be used in everything from savory pasta to sweet desserts to easy appetizers. It’s great in breakfast recipes like ricotta cheese pancakes, or stuffed in pasta, like Venison Lasagna Stuffed Shells.

Is ricotta cheese and cottage cheese the same thing?

While both can be used interchangeably in most recipes, they are not the same thing. Ricotta cheese is a soft cheese, where cottage cheese is made of small curds.

Can I use cream cheese instead of ricotta cheese?

It depends on the recipe, but you can make this substitution if needed in some ricotta cheese recipes. However, I would advise using ricotta cheese when called for, if possible.
