What can I do with...Ricotta Cheese



Recommended Posts

I just ran across this recipe and it reminded me that I haven't eaten ricotta cheese in a while.

I made Shelly's Ricotta Bake not long after surgery but that was it.

I will have to try this.

It also, looks like a great option for people who need something to take to a potluck.

How do you like to use ricotta cheese?

Thanks so much for just telling me the name of the bake. I was trying to do a search on it and couldn't find it. When you just posted the name I searched again and found it. I told myself this morning I had to find some recipes to get me through the last few days of this food phase I am in.

That other bake looks good to but I have no idea what that cheese is.

Does anyone know does this website have a recipe section? I haven't been able to find it.

You are welcome.

Yes, this site has a recipe section. This post is in that section.

Thanks for the info. I have been on this site for many many years and never knew this forum was even here. I guess it would have helped for me to look a the top of this thread. Nothing like NOT seeing what is directly in your face.

I understand. I use the phone app so it isn't always obvious what forum posts or in.

This recipe calls for whole fat ricotta. You think you could use fat free for this?

I found a ricotta bake on Pinterest that I can't wait to try. Different from the one already mentioned

8 oz of Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 large egg beaten

1 tsp of Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cups of marinara sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish.

Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese.

Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

What food phase can that bake be had? Soft foods (3 weeks)? Because I am SO making that.

@@Daisee68 How'd you do? I'm two weeks post op as of today. I haven't been eating much because I'm not hungry and broth, cream of chicken and greek yogurt can only be interesting so long. Need to "make" something.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
