Скачать или смотреть Homemade Ricotta - Easy, Fast. Delicious. (e65)

Buon Giorno A Tutti! In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), how incredibly easy it is to make your own delicious ricotta with just 4 simple ingredients and less than an hour of your time.

All you need is whole milk, cream, salt and an acid - lemon juice or white vinegar. While you can use partially skimmed milk, Nonna suggests you use whole milk - it much nicer, flavour-wise.

Ingredients:
8 cups of whole milk
1.5 cups of 35% whipping cream
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of white vinegar or lemon juice

Pour the milk and cream into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the salt. Over medium heat, bring to 195F, stirring occasionally. Nonna attaches a thermometer to her saucepan to help her gauge the temperature - you want to avoid boiling the milk. Once the mixture arrives at 195F, add the acid (vinegar or lemon juice) and turn the heat off. Stir it once, and then let the mixture separate and settle for about 5 minutes. Then, poor the mixture into a cheese cloth lined strainer, positioned over a bowl, and allow to sit about an hour for soft ricotta - longer if you want it firm. And that's it!

Ricotta is a common ingredient at Nonna's, whether she is whipping up cannolis, or 4-cheese manicotti, using it with pasta, or on crusty Italian bread - you just can't have enough ricotta. So, if you learn to make it, all the better. You will love the texture and the flavour!

You might also consider reserving the whey water as it can be used in baked goods, or in making pasta, or dough.

Buon appetito!
