Nonfat Ricotta Cheese

Nonfat Ricotta Cheese

EverydayCooked

Nonfat ricotta cheese is a skim-milk dairy product that retains the mild, milky flavor of traditional ricotta while eliminating nearly all fat content. Its texture is slightly grainier than whole-milk ricotta but maintains the same moisture-rich consistency ideal for baked dishes like lasagna or stuffed pasta. With 14 grams of protein and 40% daily calcium per half-cup serving, it provides a lean, nutrient-dense alternative to higher-fat cheeses in both sweet and savory recipes.
