If you missed the opportunity to learn
how to make fresh homemade ricotta in the past years, here is your chance! I sold out this class so many times that I needed a break from
making ricotta, but it is back for one
more appearance. You will taste the ricotta warm just as it is made. It is to die for and be
warned that you may not be able to eat store bought ricotta again! Delicious alone, Ricotta also makes a great basis for a variety of fillings. We will use the ricotta to make
cannelloni as they do in Calabria with fresh pasta dough made without egg. The frittata, another dish from my town, is made with fresh ricotta and fresh asparagus. Zucchini are
stuffed with ricotta as a side dish. We
will finish with authentic Sicilian
Cannoli, with those wonderful cannoli
shells made from scratch, filled with a
simple ricotta cream and garnished with my famous "candied orange" strips.
