is ricotta ok on induction?

[erinonatkins]

i know cottage cheese isn't ok and neither are "fresh" cheeses. however, "fresh cheese" really means nothing to me. i'd like to make a mock lasagna of sorts with zucchini as the "noodles" and with riccota cheese in the filling (but not enough to cheat and/or stall).

erin,

I'm not sure, but I don't think it is allowed. Here's a list:

You can consume three to four ounces daily of the following full-fat, firm, soft and semisoft aged cheeses*, including:

cheddar
cow, sheep and goat cheese
cream cheese
Gouda
mozzarella
Roquefort and other blue cheeses
Swiss

Yes, fluffyman is right - ricotta comes back in the Dairy rung of OWL along with cottage cheese.

You can use cream cheese or a hard cheese instead until then.

thanks, i had a hunch but wanted to be sure.
