What can I do with half a tub of ricotta cheese?

[marthamoo]

I used the other half yesterday and it needs eating today? Stir it into pasta or something? I bought it especially to make a pie (filo pastry, spinach, lamb and ricotta - it was yum!) and it's not an ingredient I normally use.

Any ideas?

Hey there
Put some golden syrup on it and eat it from the tub, or spread it on good toast with honey

Its nice on pizza, or with spinach and pasta.

Nurse, the screens!!! Marthamoo, your spinach and lamb dish sounds yum. Is it difficult?

wrap it in parma ham with some warm asparagus, drizzle with olive oil and eat (still standing in front of the fridge a la nigella if you wish!)

Mix it with some pesto and you have a lovely pasta sauce

Sorry, getting my bio yoghurt and cheeses muddled up.

Oh pph, that sounds yum. I hadn't thought of having it with anything sweet, suze. I think it's going to be pasta...

Ghenghis, recipe is a doddle (it's a Weight Watchers one). Pack of lamb mince, finely chopped onion - fry til cooked. Add garlic and a tsp of cumin, and a bit of mint (I used mint sauce as I had no dried or fresh mint). Remove from heat, stir in 1lb of spinach ( frozen is easiest, defrosted and with excess liquid squeezed out). Add half a tub of ricotta, mix well. Lots of S&P.

Lighkly grease a rectangular/oval (about 9"X12" ) oven dish and line with half a pack of filo pastry. Slap in the filling, fold in the overlapping edges and scrunch up the rest of the filo pastry on the top. I used melted low fat spread to brush the pastry sheets but butter would be fine for non WW! Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife and bake 30 mins, 190 degrees. Stand 10 mins before serving. Serves 8 (I froze some). WW points are 6.5 per serving.

Willow, you should have posted that second comment faster...damn

Sticky?

With or without Orlando Bloom???

My mother (italian) eats fresh ricotta with sugar and cinnamon on it.
