I know riccota isn't really a stretch when it comes to going outside the norm of cheeses. .. but that's what I brought home today!
...when I think of this cheese I go immediately go to a pizza I had half a year ago in NYC. I was in little Italy with my friend who was visiting the city for the first time. ..we stopped to split a pizza and pitcher. Trying to be easy and unlike what i would normally order (something with extra garlic) I let him pick the pizza...I don't know quite what it was. ..it had arugula, riccota, mushroom, maybe a meat? ..and sauce. .maybe sauce. It was brilliant! ..it only made reference to what you would think a pizza to be. ..yum.
...the other use for ricotta my mind goes to is lasagna, of course.
So I did an arugula salad with red onions, tomato, Riccota chunks, with a honey balsamic vinegar dressing. ....it was ok...but I won't be writing home to mom about it.
Boring! !
I want to do something awesome with the rest of this block. ..but what? !
.....
Until next time. .. Good evening.
