SO HOW'D IT GO?
I make a similar ricotta for use in baked ziti and lasagna all of the time, but I've never thought to use yogurt! I can see that it would definitely give it a little extra somethin'somethin'!
Generally, I use soft tofu, mix in about a half a cup or so of rice milk and add onion powder, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic and then refridgerate it for a while to let it harden to work with.
this is so delicious!
i made it for manicotti last night and it was a huge hit with the hubby!
thanks for a great recipe! ;)b
