This was a perfect way to use up my left-over half gallon of whole milk since we are a skim milk drinking family! I just made this and it was incredibly simple and very tasty. The lemon zest gives it a beautiful finish and compliments the basil nicely. Now to make some bread to serve it on!

This looks delicious! Technically, it’s not ricotta; ricotta is made from whey. It’s a by-product of cheesemaking. I once helped a friend make mozzarella and then ricotta from the whey. He started with a gallon of milk and ended up with a pound of mozzarella and two tablespoons of ricotta! Homemade cheese is so good, however it’s made.

OMG..I just made this ricotta and it is ssooo good! I did not add the extra lemon zest or basil because I am using it as a filling for my lagasna roll-ups. I have made another ricotta recipe many times before but this one is easier and more forgiving. Thank You Megan for the recipe and Laurie for the post!

Megan and her Wanna Be A Country Cleaver blog are a revelation. It has been so much fun watching her blog blossom in 2011. She’s hitting her stride now with her blog re-design, and finding a new confidence that suits her beautifully. She’s going places, and it’s lovely to see her flavorful recipes featured on Tasty Kitchen. I hope she’ll become a regular fixture here. Congrats, Megan!

PS – I’m totally making this for Hoegarden Weekend this spring. My sisters are going to love it.

Jami D-

You can pin it on pinterest pretty easily! When you go to add it to your board, just have to keep clicking through the pictures (there are 2 arrows under it) until you find the one you want to display pops up. I Pin a lot of Tasty Kitchen recipes so I don’t forget them! Good luck!

This looks DIVINE! But, I always get so frustrated that I can never pin the recipe pictures from this site onto Pinterest! If someone could work on that, you would get so much more traffic from the interwebs.
LOVE this blog!
