You are so sweet and charming explaining your way of working in the kitchen. Beautiful. Patient, slow and safe. An art from the roof of age. It’s an honor to learn from you.
Your lovely accent takes me right back to my childhood. Growing up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY in the 1950s was a rich experience. Thank you so much for this recipe.
I grew up around Italian immigrants in Brooklyn NY too. My parents italian friend had a gorgeous garden that he would give vegetable and fruits to us. sometimes. I loved hearing him speak.
"Little spoon and turn" you are So cute, Pasquale 😊 On a serious note, Invaluable Information 🙌 I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Salute 🍷e Cin Cin! 🤗
LOVED THIS! I made homemade Ricotta many years ago with a recipe I had. This is SO much better! Tonight, we had Fettucine with YOUR homemade Ricotta. It turned out great! Thank you.
I tried this recipe and made it with care and love, just as it is demonstrated in the video. I am hooked! This ricotta is superior to anything I buy at the store - even the small batch premium (and expensive!) brands! Thank you for sharing your lovely ricotta recipe!
If you tap on the title it will open up and there is a recipe written to the right if your on an iPad, different devices open up differently. Good luck.
Thank you but I thought Ricotta is made of leftover cheese from the whey. It's a byproduct of making cheese. I never heard it made this way with cream and milk. This way it is too rich.
You are right that isn’t ricotta it’s called primo sale. If Ricotta means cocked again how come it’s Done in one step . ? The step can be rennet in the first step to make primo sale or fresh cheese and with leftover whey add lemon and do ri cotta
Grazie, Pasquale!! Ci devo provare. Noi la ricotta a casa l'abbiamo sempre comprata dal 'pecoraro'. Non sapevo si potesse fare con aceto e limone. Thanks a bunch!!
Wow, I did not know you could make Ricotta at home. It's so expensive in the stores even for a small container. Thank you Pasquale. Nothing like learning authentic Italian recipes from a true Italian! Great job, Liked and Subscribed!
@@djo-dji6018 Yes and no. Ricotta means recooked and came about by recooking milk whey (typically after letting it ferment for a night to increase acidity), but the method is from traditional Italian cheese making which was adding acidity to whole milk to produce the soft curds like in the video. There are only two major difference: one is that they didn't need to add acid to the hard curd cheese's leftover whey, and two the original soft curd cheese (like this video) has a higher fat content.
Looks easy enough, but I need your pretty yellow kettle :o) -- you mention you can use the liquid that has drained for something else. Can you give an example of how you would use it? Thank you.
That yellow liquid called as Whey, it's the by product that you extract most of the fats and protein from this liquid. The taste was sour+ hint of milky, sweet taste. Many things you could do: -Pop into smoothies. -Water your plants. -Feed to your Doggo or Meowy. -Bake breads, soups, fresh pasta. -Or you may drink it right away.
That liquid is actually used to make ricotta in the original Italian recipe. "Ricotta" means literally "re-cooked". It is made after the preparation of cheese with the whey by adding more milk, rennet and re-cooking everything. This is not the original ricotta making process. What he made is actually cheese (called "primo sale" in the original cooking method).
It looks delicious! I’m making an Italian cheesecake, and I needed a homemade ricotta. This is perfect! ❤❤(Store bought ricotta is too grainy for a good cheesecake!)
So happy I’ve found this lovely man, brings back memories of my beloved Uncle John,he was Sicilian came to America as a young man owned a shoe shop made shoes and repaired also ,he lived in Harrisburg,Pa. Blessings from Pennsylvania 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How do you make a pastry ricotta? I imagine we add confectionery sugar, but is there more? And about how much? I want to make cannoli, so we need a sweet Pastry ricotta. Grazie amico mio, e che Dio vi benedica 🇮🇹🙏🏽🇮🇹
you're the best !!!!! best recipe. I also believe making this slowly makes it great, I haven't seen anyone else talk about this. Everyone just dumps the ricotta into the sieve , Thank you :)
Stasera ho fatto la ricotta nella mia cucina; delizioso! Apprezzo il tuo modo gentile di trasmettere il processo. Ora viviamo lontano dal🇮🇹casaro, quindi questa ricetta è un tesoro per me e la mia famiglia. Grazie💞voi!
Whoaaaaa! I love the simplicity of your instruction video. Im subscribing to your account❤😊 Im planning to make it tomorrow following your recipe. Thank you so much for that sincere explaination. I will make some on my nephew's birthday as he invites his friends to have a meal on that day. I will let those teens to try it. Im sure they will love it🥰🤩
Hello Pasquale ,I really enjoy watching you cook and most of the recipes you do, reminds how my mother and nonna did , and now I do some of the recipes .We are from Bari Vecchio .Thank You .😊
Chef, thank you for explaining this and showing how it's done so clearly. If the ricotta is kept soft like you have it in the video, how much in cups does that turn out to be? Thank you! I just found your channel and have to see your other videos now : )
This soft ricotta came out so good. One question though. What do you need to do if you want to make it firmer to use in lasagna recipe for example? I didn't catch the process.
It looks amazing, i also want to ask in Italy why do they not call the first pass ricotta? They say you have to use the liquid and reboil the whey and this is called ricotta. Can you explain the difference?
what he made is closer to a mascarpone. when making a rennet cheese, the clear liquid drained (the whey) can be reused, if you add acid and cook it at a higher temperature you bring out more curds of cheese from the clear liquid, using these you make the true ricotta.
After making cheese or quark, I make Italian ricotta from the remaining whey by boiling and filtering. It is a low-fat whey cream cheese. In this way, you have made two products from the milk at the same time. From 10 liters of milk you get 1 kg of cheese and about 400 grams of ricotta. This recipe in the video looks more like Indian paneer to me.
I've never had ricotta before. After watching this video I will definitely try making it. Thank you for the lovely video, and enjoyed listening to your accent.
This is not true. Italian ricotta... The word ricotta literally translates to recook or to cook twice and it comes from the way, not the whole milk and whole cream, sorry...
I was searching for the recipe but many people said its same as paneer (Indian cottage cheese) but its not, as I saw ricotta in italty has diffrent taste and texture.. So now I got perfect recipe for ricotta... Thank you ❤
Technically the methods are similar but with paneer, we really squeeze the liquid out by placing heavy objects while the paneer is wrapped in the cloth, what you’re left with is a firm but moist paneer However all the home recipes I’ve seen for ricotta have been made in this manner, understandable I guess since people may not want to make double cheeses like the commercial version
With respect I think he knows that. By my estimation his heritage is Italian. I'm guessing but I think he's doing an American-ized version. Tacos in the U.S. is not the tacos in Mexico.
I knew I liked this guym npw that I get a closer look at his cooking tool holder on the counter. It's Star Fleet so yep, I like him and he's got good recipes.
Mr. Sciarappa, i learned originally from my grandfather-in-law Sam Laloggia. Here it is 40 years later and I am at a loss. It wont curd. I even tried rennet, all that did was seperate it, but no curds. I can make cheese without the cream and it works great, but its not that rich flavor Grandpa Sam made. I heard that ultra pasteurization may be the issue. I cant find heavy cream without the ultra pasteurization down here in Houston. can you tell me how to get around this issue. Thank you
You are so sweet and charming explaining your way of working in the kitchen. Beautiful. Patient, slow and safe. An art from the roof of age. It’s an honor to learn from you.
Omg never knew it was that easy definitely making this jeezzz
Pasquale Ricotta cheese at home delicious loved this THANK YOU Pasquale you are the BEST 👍👍👍👍✋✋✋✋❤🤗🇨🇦

You're beautiful.
Your lovely accent takes me right back to my childhood. Growing up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY in the 1950s was a rich experience. Thank you so much for this recipe.
I grew up around Italian immigrants in Brooklyn NY too. My parents italian friend had a gorgeous garden that he would give vegetable and fruits to us. sometimes. I loved hearing him speak.
And hearing his accent I realise how I never got to live in such a neighbourhood
"Little spoon and turn" you are So cute, Pasquale 😊 On a serious note, Invaluable Information 🙌 I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Salute 🍷e Cin Cin! 🤗
thank you so much Gina! Cin cin 🍷
LOVED THIS! I made homemade Ricotta many years ago with a recipe I had. This is SO much better! Tonight, we had Fettucine with YOUR homemade Ricotta. It turned out great! Thank you.
I made it. It's great used it in a greek sponokopia recipe
Chef, I made this ricotta! Omgoodness, so easy and delicious! I'm a big fan!❤❤
I have been making this every week since I watched this vid. My whole family loves you Pasquale. Cin cin!
This looks delicious Pasquale! I will try this. I also love the cool yellow pot that you did it in :)
Thank you! Hope you enjoy
Pasquale if I want to use this to make a ricotta pie this easter, would you recommend a harder or softer ricotta?
I tried this recipe and made it with care and love, just as it is demonstrated in the video. I am hooked! This ricotta is superior to anything I buy at the store - even the small batch premium (and expensive!) brands! Thank you for sharing your lovely ricotta recipe!
How much of each ingredient?
If you tap on the title it will open up and there is a recipe written to the right if your on an iPad, different devices open up differently.
Good luck.
This guy is amazing!! So glad I found him
I'm eating Lasagna with my homemade ricotta. Absolutely most satisfying ricotta I ever had. Thank you for your energy! I'm my own ricotta hero now. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! You have a new subscriber. :) This looks delicious!
Thanks for the video, gonna make it for mothersday veggie lasagna. You rock!
It's like hanging out with the Italian Grand dad I never had. Fun time, Thank you so much. Mangiare

Thank you for this wonderful video! I can't wait to make some authentic Ricotta today. 😄💜
Grazie, Pasquale!! Ci devo provare. Noi la ricotta a casa l'abbiamo sempre comprata dal 'pecoraro'. Non sapevo si potesse fare con aceto e limone. Thanks a bunch!!
I like the idea of using lemon juice and white vinegar.
This is almost the same as making Mozzarella
This with basil, cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and pasta water would make a heck of a pasta sauce.
Wow, I did not know you could make Ricotta at home. It's so expensive in the stores even for a small container. Thank you Pasquale. Nothing like learning authentic Italian recipes from a true Italian! Great job, Liked and Subscribed!
That's not actual ricotta, though.

You’re the first person to pop up in my mind when I wondered how to make ricotta! Bravo!! I can’t wait to try it!👏🏼
Great tips about pan, wetting the cloth and pouring slowly. Grazie Pascale
I agree
Honestly I would click his videos if he was just reading the weather report.
Salute to the great Pasquale Sciarappa, thank you for sharing your wisdom! 🙏🏽✌🏽
Thank you for sharing, you are so adorable to watch and listen to 🤗
I love your directions👌I learned more about technique of softer ricotta and firmer ricotta 👍you’re wonderful!thank you so much!❤
I made this a few days ago. Absolutely delicious! Thank you, Mr. Sciarappa, for sharing this recipe.

Chef Pasquale takes me back to my childhood helping my grandmother "Nonna Rosa" in Boston cooking the family's Sunday feasts...
this was lovely, thank you. i will totally make this. loved hearing you talk but also the very clear and easy instructions. : )
I have made this twice now and both times the result has been beautiful. Adding chopped fresh coriander gives it another dimension.
Can’t be better than basil and tomatoes !
Made this several times now, awesome recipe
Wow l really enjoyed looking at your recipe for this recotta cheese , watching from Trinidad ; thanks for sharing !
It looks delicious! I’m making an Italian cheesecake, and I needed a homemade ricotta. This is perfect! ❤❤(Store bought ricotta is too grainy for a good cheesecake!)

Bless you and your hands! You are my favorite cooking person I have seen on youtube. Thank you 🙏🏽
The Fact that he has a Star Trek Utensil Tub makes all the difference

Grazie Pascuale. Estupendo, fantastico.

I’ve made this many times and it’s fool proof. Superior to all others. Grazie mille!
Grazie Pasquale, ottimo video
This soft ricotta came out so good. One question though. What do you need to do if you want to make it firmer to use in lasagna recipe for example? I didn't catch the process.
Following the recipe for Ricotta was very disappointing, because it did NOT call for HEAVY CREAM, therefore, it did NOT turn out as yours did!
Exquisite!!!
I made your recipe. It is like a cream cheese texture. Tastes good.
Thankyou, I'm making the ricotta now perfecto
I’m going to try this! Lots of love from southwest Illinois ❤️🍷🧀🌶
Happy to hear! Enjoy 🍷🧀
You are amazing. God bless you always. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Viewing your video here, I feel as if I have just found a real treasure. Thank you.
Thank you for watch, happy to hear :)

Magical!
Thsnk u so much
This looks quite similar to hiw I make ricotta. I add 2 tablespoons of Morton & Bassett Organic Hebs De Providence, for flavor.
Thank you for sharing your recipe, looks wonderful.
Thank you for the recipe. I love your videos.
Videos liek this is what makes the internet so awesome! I will be making fresh lasagne using your recipe. The family will be impressed.
Thank you for your energy. I am excited. I can't find good ricotta by me. Thanks for giving me the power to take care of my needs 😊
Thank you
I've never had ricotta before. After watching this video I will definitely try making it. Thank you for the lovely video, and enjoyed listening to your accent.
Thank you. That is beautiful ricotta.
I love all of your recipes sir! God Bless! Salute e chin chin!
Thank you Jose! Salute🍷
You got it my friend! Stay safe and healthy
It's comforting watching grandfather prepare ricotta. Thanks for all of it. I will make ricotta now that you've demonstrated.
Love you
This is not true. Italian ricotta... The word ricotta literally translates to recook or to cook twice and it comes from the way, not the whole milk and whole cream, sorry...
I was searching for the recipe but many people said its same as paneer (Indian cottage cheese) but its not, as I saw ricotta in italty has diffrent taste and texture..
So now I got perfect recipe for ricotta...
Thank you ❤
How much ,milk, how much vinegar , how many lemon , I dont like the way you explain ,please say 2 liter of milk ,one lemon ecc ECC
Looks soo amazing 😋 Today Im gonna try it 😊
Bravissimo‼️‼️
With all respect, that's not ricotta. Ricotta is obtained by cooking the liquid (whey) left in the pot. Ricotta (ri-cotta) means 'cooked again'.
You're correct. This is technically farmers cheese, Indians call it paneer. Ricotta comes from boiling the remaining whey and straining again.
Technically the methods are similar but with paneer, we really squeeze the liquid out by placing heavy objects while the paneer is wrapped in the cloth, what you’re left with is a firm but moist paneer
However all the home recipes I’ve seen for ricotta have been made in this manner, understandable I guess since people may not want to make double cheeses like the commercial version
With respect I think he knows that. By my estimation his heritage is Italian. I'm guessing but I think he's doing an American-ized version. Tacos in the U.S. is not the tacos in Mexico.
Love your videos!!! I can't wait to try this.
Reminds me of my dad (if my dad was calm!! 😂).
Thank you! You're the sweetest!
I’m sure this is fine but like with many many other “ricotta” recipes that’s not ricotta. Ricotta means cooked twice. This is not.
Bella Pasquale
Someone help me. Some chefs make ricotta from whey and would call this cottage cheese and many others make it like this. Why the difference?
oh boy, I dont understand why mine will not curdle? wonder what i did wrong...
Great recipe for the soft one thank you so much... what do i need to do now to make it the harder version :)
Grazie thank you so much for all your care in making your ricotta
Nothing better than watching Furio making mozzarella cheese with a cigarette in his mouth at the Vesuvio restaurant!
I knew I liked this guym npw that I get a closer look at his cooking tool holder on the counter. It's Star Fleet so yep, I like him and he's got good recipes.

I heard that ultra pasteurization may be the issue. I cant find heavy cream without the ultra pasteurization down here in Houston. can you tell me how to get around this issue. Thank you
The real ricotta is milk quaglio and salt We like real real hard and thick Italian style
This doesn't taste vinegary? I've seen it made with lemon sounds better to me than vinegar.
Wonderful video. Thank you...
God bless you looks great
Grazie Signore. I use that to make the ricotta donuts. Fantastic. I think
Ceres the Roman Goddess of fruitfulness has blessed you
No such thing as a "goddess."
