Equipment

  • 1 large bowl

Ingredients

  • 16 oz whole milk ricotta
  • ½ cup mozzarella, grated
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use!

Notes

  1. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The longer you store this ricotta mixture in the refrigerator, the more intense the garlic flavor will be. If you plan on storing it in the refrigerator for multiple days, I would suggest substituting garlic powder. 
  2. Perfect to use with Authentic Italian Lasagna, EASY Ricotta Bruschetta, or Chicken Rollatini!
