Battle of Cheese: Ricotta vs. Cottage
First, let me apologize for not posting in so long. I am in my second year of grad school and my schedule has been super crazy. Second, let me admit that I have a problem. I always confuse ricotta cheese and cottage cheese. Every time I go to the grocery store intending to buy one, I somehow end up buying the other. They do look a little similar, but not so similar. Let's compare:
Ricotta Cheese
Ricotta Cheese
Cottage Cheese
You see, they don't look that similar, but I don't even figure out that I bought the wrong one until I taste it. Now, about the uses of these cheeses:
I love ricotta cheese on pizza. They call it white pizza. I also love ravioli with a ricotta filling. And in this blog, they propose a very interesting ricotta and chocolate dessert. On to cottage cheese. Sometimes I like to eat cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast. I also like to put cottage cheese in a food processor or blender, add sweetener and flavoring, and use as a frosting or cream topping for desserts. I particularly like cottage cheese blended with agave syrup (for sweetness) and a little bit of lavender water.
What do you guys do with ricotta and cottage cheese? Does anyone else confuse these two?
