Ricotta Cheese

Have you ever used Ricotta cheese?  It is really yummy in pasta.  It comes in a container just like sour cream and you can find it at the grocery store back by the cottage cheese.  It really isn't very expensive, and you can even get part-skim instead of full fat.  

A really fast and simple thing to do with it is to just stir it into your pasta noodles right after you drain the water off.  Then you can top it with any kind of spaghetti sauce.  I even like to add frozen vegetables, broccoli, corn, or even black beans!  It makes a fast and delicious dinner and it is a new twist on an old favorite.
