I love zucchini these look amazing can't wait to try
Ok , this would taste al ot better with ricotta
It goes to fast to remember all of the filling
Sooooo much work 😮
Would try this with eggplants since I don't like zucchini
Ricotta cheese has more protein in it per cup than cottage cheese.
If you blend the cottage cheese, it tastes and is textually closer to ricotta. I agree there is not much difference in taste but if you wanted to you could add a bit of ricotta to the cottage cheese which is what I usually do.
Wow you're 👌 good 👍 👏 😳
I need to try this 🤔👍
❤❤❤❤ looks delicious when I cut zucchini and strips I run a fork down the side of it to make a cutting guide makes the slicing much easier
