POLL: Do you like the texture of ricotta?
When I created this recipe I got countless messages about how much people HATED the texture. However, once tasting this dish they changed their mind. Whipped rictotta is where it is at!

St. Patrick’s Day is a perfect opportunity to give a spin to the more traditional dishes. Bangers and Mash is a favorite Irish dish with mashed potatoes, pork sausage, and a...
