Making your own homemade ricotta is very quick and easy. It's even easier than making soup and almost impossible to mess up using the right milk and the right implements. And the flavor... what about the flavor! Nothing compares to that of homemade cheeses.
But what to do with this ricotta once prepared? With the arrival of spring, we want to change a little of the lasagna recipes that we love. That's why we offer you a simple recipe for smoked salmon puff pastries.
