What to do with mascarpone?

[JellySlice]

I need inspiration to use up a 500ml tub of mascarpone.

Something savoury, for preference. Meat-free, but fish is ok.

If it was soured cream, I'd stew mushrooms in it.

(We're all cheesecaked out, so not cheesecake.)

Any ideas?

--Eat it with a spoon

Lovely mixed with fried buttery cabbage and bacon. Or as the base of a sauce for steak, chicken etc, add garlic, parsley and a little bit of veg stock :)

Sorry just saw the meat free bit - works on Amy fish or veggies :)

I used mine to make a lemon cheesecake today !

itsallgravybaby, what's with the scorethrough? Out and proud, baby, out and proud: the reason I have no soured cream left from our cheesecake-fest is because I ate it with a spoon

But I find mascarpone too bland, really.

Put it in dollops over a really nice pizza.

Mascarpone chocolate mousse.

Marscapone and egg oopsie bread

Stir it into your fave home made pasta sauce to cream it up a bit

Dollop on Pizza or mix through mushroom pasta, or drizzle over chicken in the oven with a few sun dried tomatoes, or mix in cooked leeks and serve with salmon.

I think of mascarpone as a sweet soft cheese. However, spinach and mascarpone pasta with salmon is nice. Lots and lots of black pepper.

Dollop on pancakes? With fried tomato.

With leeks on salmon sounds just the thing.

What is oopsie bread? Is that like eggy-bread/French toast?

Mix it with stronger cheeses to make Welsh rarebit or any other cheesy creamy sauce.

Jelly this is the recipe I use. It's really lovely.

I mix it with tagelio and mozzarella to make mac and cheese instead of making a roux

Tomato and mascarpone sauce for pasta. Lovely with some red onions and smoked bacon cooked with it.

Tiramisu is lovely with mascarpone, I like it with strawberries also.

Tin of toms, some chopped onion, garlic, herbs etc just as you would for 'normal' tomato pasta sauce, just before the end of cooking it/reducing, add a couple big dollops of marscapone, mix it in and then pulse it with a handheld blender to make it smooth if required. Yummy!

😂😂😂

smoked salmon pasta with mascarpone sauce. lots of recipes on Google

Mix with mushrooms, nutritional yeast cream (or oat cream) veg stock cube and grated cheese for a kind of lazy mushroom stroganoff nice with rice pasta or broccoli rice

Coffee and walnut cake and use the marscapone to make the icing. Freezes beautifully

Mushroom stroganoff or a thick tomatoey type sauce to go with pasta or rice.
Or, as ItsAllGravyBaby said, just eat with a spoon.

What did you do with it in the end?

My tip for future is to mix it with nut butter / chocolate spread / lemon curd etc and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours. It goes kind of like ice cream.

Hide your horse? 🤣
