Ricotta (pronounced in Italian) is an Italian whey cheese made from sheep, cow, goat, or Italian water buffalo milk whey left over from the production of other cheeses. Like other whey cheeses, it is made by coagulating the proteins that remain after the casein has been used to make cheese, notably albumin and globulin. Ricotta (literally meaning "recooked", "refined") protein can be harvested. "Polpette di ricotta al sugo", as these are known in Italian, are meatless balls made out of ricotta cheese and homemade bread crumbs.

Instructions to make Ricotta & Honey Stuffed Chicken Breast:

- Combine ricotta, honey, lemon zest and juice, and basil in a small mixing bowl. Add a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk together. Use a soft spatula to transfer to a piping bag with a small circle tip. Alternatively, use your fingers and a spoon.
- Drizzle enough olive oil over the chicken to coat. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Dollops of ricotta on top of pasta, soup, or pizza bring freshness (and definitely more richness) instantly. Ricotta is an underrated cheese if you ask us. Sure, you can't eat it like you would a slice of cheddar, but it adds the creamiest, smoothest taste to so many dishes. Making Fresh Ricotta Salata: If you'd like to make a fresh farmer's cheese (ricotta salata) from this ricotta, wrap it in cheese cloth and press it beneath a weighted plate in the refrigerator overnight. Using the Leftover Whey: The leftover whey can be used in place of water in any baking recipe, whizzed into smoothies, or drunk on its own.
