I have some ricotta cheese leftover and have no clue what to use it for besides lasagna. Any ideas?

    I usually add strawberries or any kind of fruit you like really (bananas would be good too) and then some honey and just eat it with a spoon. Pretty yummy and satisfies the sweet tooth after dinner.

    Thanks for all the ideas! I will have to try these out. My MIL loves anything pumpkin so I'll have to try it in the fall when we see them.

    use ricotta instead of cottage cheese - I make pancakes with it. Both the ones with oatmeal and I have another recipe both were for cottage cheese but much better with ricotta.
