Add ricotta to your diet for a creamy, low-fat experience.
This ricotta dish can be eaten as dessert or as topping on toasted bread for breakfast or snacks. It uses only three ingredients, which are all rich in flavor. Ricotta is an Italian whey cheese. It is low in sodium and in fat, and low-fat versions are sold which are even lighter!
Dark honey, although not as commonly used in the U.S., has a more intense flavor that enhances the ricotta. It is also more nutritious than light honey, with more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. A good example is buckwheat honey, which has the most antioxidants among its kind. With just three ingredients in this dish, you will be sure to enjoy this whey cheese without feeling guilty about the fat.
