Preparation
Chef’s notes
The ricotta becomes firmer as it cools, so do not judge its final texture by what you see in the cheesecloth.
Serve on toasted baguette slices with honey, olive oil, or aged balsamic.
Consider marinating zucchini ribbons for a crostini topping.
Use within 3 to 4 days if made with fresh milk, but shelf life may vary.
