Quick and Easy Goat Milk Ricotta

With this super quick and easy recipe, you'll have ricotta cheese to use in your pasta dishes, desserts, and appetizers in no time. I like to use it in a gluten-free lasagna that substitutes spaghetti squash for the pasta noodle layers. While this ricotta recipe is heated, it is also possible to make a cultured raw ricotta with a little more effort. Works with cow's milk too!

For this recipe, you will need:

• 1 gallon of raw goat or cow milk
• 1/4 cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
• 3 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• cooking pot, candy thermometer, slotted spoon
• colander, butter muslin, or cheese cloth

Store in the refrigerator. Makes approximately 16 oz. of ricotta.
