| Straining excess whey from my homemade whole (cow) milk Ricotta |
 |
| Mixing it with in-season strawberries, a good heaping spoon full of moist brown sugar, & a squirt of lime juice. |
 |
| Wanton wrappers are my easy ravioli cheat. Someday I'll be ambitious enough to make my own pasta dough... |
 |
| I feel like shapes influence texture. These "flying geese" shapes were my favorite. |
 |
| They turned out rather well (to my surprise as i made this up on the fly. it's what happens when i have an excess of any food & no desire to plan ahead.). They were lightly sweet and the lime brought out the headiness of the strawberries. The ricotta gave it further richness & a hint of unsweetened cheesecakey-ness. In short this was an unexpected success. I can't wait to try it again with raspberries & perhaps a little olive oil. |
