Made this Giada De Laurentiis Honey Ricotta Cheesecake recipe for Supper Club Saturday night. It's part cream cheese, part ricotta with a ground biscotti crust. It had a great consistency - I like the combination of the 2 cheeses. I did use the whole container of ricotta which was 3 oz more than the recipe called for (which screwed up my stuffed mushrooms which needed those 3 oz!). I don't think that did much other than maybe dilute the honey/orange zest flavor perhaps. Hard to know. I'll make it again and figure it out though.
Rest of Supper Club Menu:
Apps
- Mozz wrapped w/ Prosciutto baked in Marinara (from Mom)
- Mushrooms stuffed with Sausage, Spinach, Ricotta, Parm
Main
- Pork Roast with a garlic herb paste (with bones)
- Penne alla Vodka (Lidia Bastianich version)
- Sauteed Escarole in garlic
- Tomato Onion Arugula Salad (also from Mom)
I think all came out as I wanted. Of course I bought/made too much and now have a plethora of cherry tomatoes, arugula, and escarole. Bought too much Pork (9 lbs w/ bones), but realized before cooking and cut off part to save for another time. Ended up with 1 slice left. Yeah!
