Savoury ricotta recipes

Add this creamy, versatile cheese to your list of go-to ingredients and watch the compliments roll in.

Ricotta. It’s creamy, slightly sweet and its use in savoury dishes is manifold. It’ll add depth to a beetroot salad, layers of flavour to a spaghetti dish or step up to the plate when baked solo. In short, it’s the perfect thing to keep on hand year-round.
