Ricotta is beloved as a filling for pasta shells, manicotti, ravioli, cannoli, classic lasagna, and cheesecake. Dollop ricotta on pasta, fold it into a sauce, or spread it on a toasted slices of baguette with a drizzle of honey or under tomatoes for bruschetta. There are so many wonderful ways to use ricotta in your cooking. Ricotta has a higher caloric and fat content than cottage cheese, but less salt. American ricotta adds whole or skim milk to the whey, producing a wetter, creamier style than the Italian versions.
Ricotta salata, which means “salty,” is salted and aged at least three months, resulting in a texture more like feta. Ricotta feels smooth but slightly grainy. The word stems from the Latin recocta, meaning recooked. Ricotta was originally created in Italy to use up the whey when a cheesemaker separates milk or cream into curds and whey for other cheeses. They’re also both soft, white, and moist. But you can’t always substitute one for the other.īoth cheeses are usually made from cow’s milk and are fresh, so they don’t have that aged pungency that you get from other cheeses (read more about aged cheese vs fresh cheese). They do look similar, though, don’t they? And they’re both pretty mild-mannered.

When working with the dough, if it splits or whatever, when you are rolling it or placing it in the pan, just take a piece of the dough and patch the problem area.
Also, this pie is made with PASTA FROLLA. I won't tell anyone) I have not tried this recipe with SPLENDA or STEVIA so I cannot tell you how it will turn out. The anisette can also be adjusted to your personal liking (dip your finger into the filling and give it a taste.
The sugar in the filling can be less or more to adjust the sweetness to your personal taste.
Mom uses whole milk ricotta, you can use part skim if that is your preference. If you do not care for maraschino cherries you can leave them off the top of the pie. If you double the dough recipe you will have enough dough to make a lattice for the top of the pie.
