This week we prepared a dish from the Moosewood Cookbook. This spinach ricotta pie is similar to a quiche, but with more ricotta than eggs. The recipe calls for one pound of ricotta cheese, so we decided to experiment in making our own cheese for the first time. It was surprisingly easy, although you do have to own a cheesecloth. If you don't want to take the time to make your own ricotta, this recipe still tastes delicious with store-bought cheese. Next time we're thinking about using goat's milk in the cheese, for a little more flavor.
