Here at the HCT Cheese Blog, we love baking cheese, often over pasta. So a couple weeks or so ago when I went to Whole Foods, I had Ricotta on my mind.

Wisconsin Ricotta.

Fortunately for the blog (which officially pursues Wisconsin cheese whenever possible, for cost, for availability, and for freshness), Whole Foods had just the thing.

The ricotta is very smooth and creamy. Slightly mild, and less gritty than many of your mainstream grocery store ricottas.

I put the ricotta on top of some spaghetti with basil tomato sauce. Then I baked it for a while, and added mozzarella to melt and get gooey, and some fresh basil from Ridgeland Harvest.

Hmm. Delicious.

4/5 Stars for the Ricotta.
