My Favourite Ricotta Sandwich

You know by now that I love ricotta, especially sheep's ricotta! I buy my sheep ricotta at the Southern market in Brussels, on sunday, at an Italian food shop.

It is a byproduct of cheese. It is made of the whey that is left behind. Ricotta is made from the whey that is cooked twice. So, sheep 's ricotta is made from the sheep's whey that is cooked twice. Ricotta means: what is cooked twice. There is cow's ricotta & there is sheep's ricotta. You can find the cow's ricotta in almost every supermarket in town, like the Delhaize, the GB,... For 500 gr, you will pay about 1.20 Euros. As you know by now, I prefer the sheep's ricotta. It has more flavour & it is a lot more expensive. How can you use ricotta? Ricotta is lovely spread on home made or sourdough bread & to top it with fresh fruit or honey. You can use it in pasta sauces, to fill up canneloni, to add to a pasta dish for a lovely taste, as a filling for pies, pastries, in desserts, baking,... It is also lovely in combination with spinach, Swiss chard,...
