Good to know that works too! I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.
How much parsley do you add to the cheese mixture?
Hi Barbara
Thanks for reaching out. I add 1/4 tsp parsley to the cheese mix.
Have a wonderful day!
Hello, love your recipes. Would you mind letting me know exactly what type of parm cheese you use? Thanks.
Hi Michele
Thank you so much. I usually use either Trader Joe’s or Great Value brand from Walmart.
Have a wonderful day
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!
