Having a jar of home made ricotta has been a life saver (no I’m not exaggerating) so many times in my kitchen. It can be use for so many purposes such as cooking, baking, making sauces, having on a bagel or toast, making dip sauces… the list can be made long. When you feel that your fridge only has some left over vegetables and the pentry is kind of empty… then you bring out the jar with vegan ricotta and anything you have at home can be made into a super delicious dish! I’ve actually never been a fan of regular ricotta, but I find this vegan one so delicious and versatile.
Ingredients for the Vegan Ricotta (Cauliflower & Tofu Based):
