As similar as they may seem, cottage cheese and ricotta are NOT interchangable. Cottage cheese with pasta is a vile and unholy union.

That sounds postively disgusting and I even like cottage cheese.

I was obviously very fucking high if I thought that was a good idea :)

I love cottage cheese and pasta, it's a normal food in my family.

As a matter of fact, I had it for lunch. Yum.

I don't know Laur...maybe it's an aquired taste. :)
I'll never aquire it if it is, because I'll never mix the two again. :)

I used to use cottage cheese as a replacement for riccota (which i swear to god they don't sell in fucking Texas) in lasagna. It seemed to work fine. I've heard lots of food nazis scoff at that though. Don't be a food nazi.

Maybe it works in lasagna, I have no idea.
I took 1/2 a cup of cottage cheesea an mixed it with a cup and a half of rotini, and sprinkled some locatelli on it. I used to do the same thing using ricotta and it was fine but the cottage cheese was just plain nasty.
I'm not a nazi. :)

You can use straight cottage cheese in lasagna or most types of recipies that require ricotta if it's something that's blended in with the rest of the ingredients. If you just want to put some in with your pasta, it's a little too watery and loose to stand up the way ricotta does. If you were to press it through a cheesecloth or something to get some of the moisture out, though, you might be able to get away with it.

Linguine with homemade red clam gravy ("sauce" to those of you who didn't grow up in Fluffya, Pee-Ay) and ricotta is the one item I could eat for 21 meals a week if I had to.

And FTR, I'm not a food Nazi. :)
