I just made this with chives, cracked pepper and garlic. It was so satisfying and easy to make my own cheese; I can’t wait to make it again for Christmas.

I tried fresh ricotta once with very bad results (a huge mess, mostly). Am thinking I might be brave enough to try it again. Thank you for the inspiration – I’ll let you know how it goes.

Yes, for ravioli you’ll want to leave it a bit more ‘wet” so it stays softer to mix with other ingredients for ravioli. I never really put it together, but paneer is very similar! Basically this recipe is just want a lot of cultures call “farmer’s cheese.”

Interesting. I have made paneer (ie, Indian cheese) for years, and this is the exact same recipe. I never knew that it was essentially identical to ricotta. (The end steps are a bit different, in order to end up with very compacted curds, which are then cut up into small squares.) The next time I make paneer, I’ll put some of the curds aside, to use as ravioli fillings. Yum.

You could certainly try it with low-fat milk if that’s what you have. I’ve be very interested to hear how it comes out!

We normally don’t drink whole milk either, but you’re making me want to run to the store and get some to make this cheese.
