Nut Free Ricotta Cheese

30 May, 2023

Description:

After making WFPB cheddar "cheese," we wanted to see what other cheeses we could develop. To get some inspiration, I had to think back a little about my life to see what cheeses I often used in my cooking. When I had a whole house and kids to raise, we often made dishes as a family, like homemade ravioli, manicotti, and lasagna. What do all of these recipes have in common? Well, besides being delicious, they all use ricotta cheese. This WFPB ricotta cheese is incredible. I love it, and I can't wait to use it in some of my upcoming recipes. Go on and try it yourself and see what you think!
