Made this fresh for a weekend bbq - it was fun and really really easy to make. Since I am so used to store-bought, this was like a whole 'nother food! It is so creamy, not at all grainy. I served it warm with chopped oregano, basil and scallions. The little bit leftover was even better the next day as the cheese had firmed up even more. I would use this as a base for dips calling for sour cream or cream cheese as the texture and flavor would work well with any herb or veggie combination. Don't know how it would work in a cooked preparation (ravioli etc. but that's not what Ina created it for.

@ dppatel:- Sorry to say but I agree with kkurli that this is Ricotta and NOT Paneer as we don't use any cream and white wine vinegar in Paneer instead we can use either lemon juice or plain vinegar.

Thanks Ina for sharing this recipe that now I can make Ricotta whenever its needed.

This is NOT paneer which usually uses lemon or lime juice and is pressed down to form a brick like cheese. Though the process of making paneer and ricotta is very similar.
I found it very tasty and plan to use it the next time I make lasagne! Thanks Ina!

I used this in ravioli. It was ok. It was very cream cheese like, so the consistency sort of threw me off. And i don't think the flavor was quite right either. Maybe Im just used to the store bought stuff and this is really how is should taste. ??
