Fresh Ricotta!

I'm lucky enough to have fresh, whole-milk ricotta sitting in my refrigerator. I used some last night for a pasta, but I'd like to make something with the remaining 8 ounces. Any creative ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Ricotta cheese filled pastry that my Aunt Carm use to make

I need some help finding the recipe. My Aunt Carm made these deep fried pastries. It was a heavier dough not like fritters and you rolled it out and made a good sized rectangle for each pastry and you just filled it with drained ricotta cheese. She would flavor the dough with anise and deep fry each one and smoother then in honey. I really need to know the right kind of dough to use. It was very yellow in color from the egg content.

Thanks
Donna

My favorite use for ricotta is _____

Ricotta is one of my all-time favorite cheeses. I prefer the full fat variety. Fresh ricotta isn't available here locally so I do have to buy whatever brand is available at the grocery store.

A few of my favorite uses are:

Stuffed shells
whip, sweeten with honey & top with berries
add to scrambled eggs
