Would it be good to mix sour cream w/ ricotta cheese for lasagna?

Question

or would that be gross?

Answer 1

dont use sour cream because it will just get all watery when it melts..use cottage cheese...it melts just like regular cheese but it makes lasagna sooo good..  =)

Answer 2

Sounds kind of nasty. I'd stick with plain ricotta.

Answer 3

you could but not much id say 1/4 cup sour cream for 1 cup ricotta dont forget to mix in some parmesan basil and parsley  

Answer 4

I have used some sour cream in mine. I usually mix it with the mozz. cheese and dont use a lot. I use it when I make a total cheese lasagna with all kinds of cheese. If you use much cheese you just need to let it set up after baking.

This is what I threw together tonight !



1 lb of ground beef, browned, with small diced onions, drain

1 box of lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

1 small container of cottage cheese

1 8 oz of sour cream

2 eggs

1 can cheddar cheese soup

8 oz shedded mozz cheese

8 oz cobly and jack cheese

italian seasonings

1 large jar of ragu or sauce you like



Pour some sauce in bottom of pan

Place noodles 3 across or to fill pan

If using meat place across the noodles, spooning a bit of sauce over meat





Combine the sour cream and cheddar soup

Spoon on layer of meat

Place another layer of noodles

Combine eggs, mozz cheese, cottage cheese and some italian seasoning

Spread over noodles

Place layer of noodles

Spread sauce over noodles

Bake in over 350 til  hot and bubbly

Take out and sprinkle cobly/jack cheese and cover with foil

Heat til cheese is melted

Let stand before cutting

May sprinkle Italian seasonings over top depending on your taste





  

Answer 5

Just use the ricotta cheese.  The sour cream has the wrong flavor, and would make it too liquidy when it bakes......but, add an egg and I add shredded mozzarella and/or provolone to the ricotta

Answer 6

We mix a block of cream cheese, fresh parsley & the ricotta cheese. We love it.
