The exquisite taste of homemade ricotta belies how stunningly simple it is to make. Whether you eat it fresh and warm topped with berries and honey or simply tossed with pasta, you will be impressed with this silky, creamy fresh cheese you made yourself. Use organic whole milk, not only for its rich flavour, but also because it's higher in fat than homogenized milk. You'll find it in the organic section of most large supermarkets.
