After last Sunday’s Ricotta pie, I still had half a container of ricotta left just asking to be used. Weekend mornings are for lavish homemade breakfasts. Weekdays we are lucky if we can grab a yogurt or bowl of cereal together, but weekends are a different story: omlettes, crepes, pancakes, you name it. So, fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes seemed wonderful on this gray (and yes, snowy!) late March morning.
This recipe was a happy coincidence. Yesterday we attended a bat-mitzvah luncheon where a spinach casserole of some sort was served that my husband happily devoured second (and possibly third) helpings of. Then today, as I was sifting through the weekly coupons we receive from our local grocery store – I noticed one for boxed salad greens and another for ricotta. The conclusion seemed self-evident: make spinach ricotta pie – except without the actual pie aspect since buttery crusts don’t agree with me (it’s sad, I know). My husband seemed thrilled at the prospect of eating more spinach-y cheesy yumminess. It was super easy to make – I’m excited to add it to my repertoire.
