fresh RICOTTA from scratch plus whipped ricotta toast
Ricotta is a by-product of mozzarella making. Italian cheesemakers would make mozzarella and be left with all this whey and found that they could use that to make a whole other product from it and the result is ricotta, which literally means “recooked”. We aren’t cheesemakers so we don’t have whey but luckily we can replicate the process with good quality milk.

Cuccia (Sicilian Wheatberry and Ricotta Porridge)
Italian desserts don't get much simpler than cuccia, a rice pudding–like mixture of chewy, nutty wheatberries suspended in creamy sweetened ricotta. I like it best served the way my mother made it, beneath a dusting of cinnamon and curls of shaved chocolate or chocolate chips.

Cherry season is fleeting, so let's make the most of it while it's here. To make this incredibly easy dish, macerate fresh cherries in a sweet-sour mixture of honey and red wine vinegar, top them off with black pepper, then serve them with ricotta cheese, crushed Marcona almonds, and mint.
This is a seriously simply appetizer recipe. Feel free to jazz it up by topping with a few sliced figs, olives, or (if you're feeling fancy) shaved truffles. If you can't find sheep's milk ricotta, use the best cow's-milk ricotta...

Fresh Summer Tomato Bruschetta
These classic Italian tomato-topped toasts should be made only when tomatoes are at the peak of their season; the rest of the year, it's better to try my awesome oven-roasted recipe using canned tomatoes. The secret to this version is to use a mix of ripe heirloom varieties, and rub the garlic on the toasts instead of folding it into the tomatoes for a more even and less harsh garlic flavor.
