Have 500g of Ricotta left over (whoops) - what to make?

[Thomcat]

What a plonker. Bought double the amount I need.
Am making a lasagne in my slow cooker today.
Any ideas what to do with the other 500g of ricotta?
Would prefer a savoury as don't really do sweets in our house.

Spinach and ricotta canneloni?

Never made canneloni before. Sounds do-able. Certainly good way to use up that much ricotta. Will go and search through recipe books for canneloni recipes now. Thanks Teeny.

I checked to see about freezing the stuff for future lasagnes or pasta dishes, bit mixed outcome. Some say yay, others says technically yes but the texture suffers and can split.

Do you have a pasta machine? Any chance of making a batch of ravioli and flavouring the ricotta for the filling? could then cook it later in the week?

No pasta machine no.
Very kind of you to check re freezing, thank you.
I'll be freezing some of the lasagne I'm making so will have to freeze it once cooked but guess that'll be a bit different.
Have dug out by Silver Spoon recipe book, bound to be a few ricotta type dishes in there.

Gently heat it up and it makes a very lovely cheesy sauce to go on pasta, in lasagne, etc.

There are loads of ricotta recipe's here
