Thank you for the Gluten free recipes. Very helpful
My husband was saying something about cottage cheese instead of ricotta, do you think it really tastes any different?

I have had it both ways and personally can’t tell a difference. I know ricotta is a bit sweeter. I’d say give it a try 🙂
Thanks Donna
