    I make these all the time! I actually think they taste even better frozen, thawed and reheated! A great staple to have on hand for a single gal like myself who doesn’t always feel like cooking every night but wants WW friendly options on hand. I made these for my dad who sadly is convinced anything that is “lite” or healthy doesn’t taste as good…boy did his jaw fall on the floor when I told him he’d just eaten ground turkey !! He’s a convert and realized healthy food can taste good too – even better 🙂

    Do you think cottage cheese instead of ricotta would turn out with the same consistency?

      Hi Sarah

      Cottage cheese would work as a replacement for the ricotta. Keep in mind, the consistency or texture will not be the exact same…however it would still taste delicious. I prefer the smooth, creamy texture of ricotta cheese for this particular recipe.

      Thanks so much!

    Hello

    I am unable to find the fat free ricotta cheese at any stores in my area. I was only able to find the part-skim. If I use the part-skim will that raise the point significantly (1/4 cup = 70 calories, 4g fat, 4g carbs, 5g protein? or what other alternative could I use?

    Thanks

      Hi Kristy

      The point value would increase by 1 smart point per serving if you were to replace the fat free ricotta for the part-skim ricotta! Still low in points and worth it!

      Thanks!
