This was the best ricotta cheese substitute I have tried yet. I eased them out of the ramekins and dinner was served. Into the oven for 40 minutes and…viola…we’re in business! The mini-lasagnas came out of the oven bubbling hot with cheese and sauce and a whole lot of goodness. The ricotta & cheese filling was added, and layered with the vegetables…and of course an amazing sauce from Rao to top it all off. YUMMY!! The noodles were cooked, cooled, and put into the dishes.
I just had to keep myself from eating all the cheese out of the container and to use it, instead, in the actual recipe.īut I did end up blending it with my herbs and some Daiya Mozzerella Shreds to complete the cheesy filling of the lasagna, which would also include sautéed onion and kale with some garlic. Oh…this was already looking good for my mini lasagnas. The texture is light, but with a bit of heft to it. There is that much amazing flavor in this cheese. I probably could have eaten the entire tub on my own, with just a spoon. My roommate and I both tried some of the Kite Hill Ricotta on its own before I blended it with some herbs for the actual meal. I know that tofu can be substituted in pasta dishes for ricotta…as can Tofutti’s Better Than Ricotta…and I have actually used both in successful recipes. But let me say this, if Kite Hill continues to produce their version of ricotta cheese, then I will never miss it again. It looked just like real ricotta…the stuff I am incapable of consuming anymore. The Kite Hill Ricotta is light and fluffy right off the bat. Let me tell you, I was beyond blown away by this product.

See where this is headed? Yep…individual mini lasagnas…all made possible by the introduction of Kite Hill’s Ricotta – which is completely soy free, vegan, gluten free and dairy free. And I had gluten free lasagna noodles in my pantry. Well, I had pasta on my mind this past week. You will recall that I have already given a raving review for the Kite Hill Plain Cream Cheese Style Spread. After years of recipe testing and countless trials and errors to develop the perfect nut milk, cultures, and enzymes needed to create a worthy product, Kite Hill emerged on the market place. So often, vegan cheese tastes fake or plastic-like. Created by a dedicated team with deep culinary, cheese-making, and scientific expertise, including Tal Ronnen, Monte Casino, Jean Prevot, Pat Brown, and Matthew Sade, Kite Hill has stepped up to the challenge to create a non-dairy cheese that met their high standards for quality. Using simple ingredients and using traditional methods, Kite Hill has created artisan cheeses, yogurts, and cream cheeses that can all be incorporated into entrées and desserts. Kite Hill was started due to a vision for a plant-based food that would have all the qualities we love in the best artisan dairy cheeses. They are a little pricey, but as I’ve been discovering…they are totally worth it. In fact, all of the products from this particular brand are only available at Whole Foods…currently. A couple of weeks ago, I took a chance and tried a new product I discovered (exclusively) at my local Whole Foods. Top with black olives, Field Roast’s Italian sausage, Follow Your Heart’s mozzarella cheese, cashew ricotta cheese, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.Color me charmed. Pour 1/2 jar of organic marinara sauce over the center of the manicotti Place stuffed manicotti shells in glass or ceramic bakeware I kept about 2tbs of cashew ricotta on so I could top the dish with it.ġ/2 cup Follow Your Hearts Mozzarella cheese I used a pastry bag to pipe the manicotti shells. This helps the cashew ricotta stay firm while you pipe into the manicotti shells.īoil enough salted filtered water to cover 6 manicotti shells.ĭrain & rinse with cold water to stop the noodles from cooking.Ĭombine all the ingredients together in a bowl. Store in air tight container and place in fridge for 2 hours. Soak the cashews for two hours in a bowl of filtered water, covering the cashews about an inch.Īdd all ingredients with the cashews being the last to be put into the blender.īlend until smooth. 2 tablespoon Bragg’s apple cider vinegar.
I’m already thinking of making it again! ❤ What would I do without cashew ricotta cheese in my life?! This came out beyond my expectations, I absolutely loved it.
