Since my homemade ricotta recipe<\/a><\/span> post, I’ve been wanting to make ricotta with lemon juice, instead of using buttermilk. And now I did! Let me tell you, it worked out pretty well. It takes the same amount of time, and it’s actually the same procedure. All I did was replace the buttermilk with the juice of half lemon. The important thing for both recipes is using milk with the highest fat amount. Otherwise it will affect not only the taste but also the amount of cheese that will come out of it. At least that’s what I noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ricotta on the following picture was made literally five minutes before I took the picture. It was still lukewarm. That is why it is still so juicy. If you have more time available, you might want to let it drain in the appropriate cheese basket or cheesecloth for at least one hour before cooking with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

About half an hour later I was done with part one. Then all I had to do is add the spinach and other ingredients to it. And there you go, the mix is ready to be turned into these little dumplings. After boiling them for a few minutes only – until they begin to float to surface – they are actually ready to be served with some sauce. As I like it crunchy, I couldn’t help but saut\u00e9 them in a pan with a little butter. I kept flipping them until they got a nice brown color.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tomato sauce that I made didn’t require lots of cooking either. I wanted the tomatoes to be only halfway cooked for this dish. You can also make more and store them for later. But be ready to roll them into additional flour, as they tend to get sticky really fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at these colors! I mean, don’t they look inviting? ;) <\/span><\/p>\n
