Ricotta Salata
I got some, not sure what to do with it (other than eat it on crackers). What's your favorite thing to do with ricotta salata?

fry some eggplant in a pan, add homemade tomato sauce, toss with pasta, grated ricotta salata on top. "Pasta alla Norma".

Lupa makes on of my favorite salads with escarole, lemon, red onions and ricotta salata. It's fantastic.

Eating it plain is probably my favorite way! However, shaved onto some pasta with a marinara sauce is very good as well.
I've also made this salad and it's one of my favorites:

Enjoy!

Shred it over your favorite macaroni dish - it's great on marinara, gravy, ANYTHING. I like it on rigatoni.

I use it interchangeably with feta in mediterranean dishes(pastas, salads). Great with eggplant as noted above.

I too use it interchangeably with feta. Great crumbled over saute'd spinach, in salads, over pasta or stirred into rice.
I like it crumbled over fresh tomato salad. My new fave is stuffed into little piquio peppers. The combination of tangy, salty cheese and the sweet heat of the pepper is an incredible flavor combination.
