Cold risotto salad

It’s very hot the last few days, it’s unbearable. Along with the fact that I don’t have much free time the last couple of weeks, it means I am not cooking much at all. And when I do cook a meal, I try to make something very light. That’s what makes this risotto salad ideal for hot summer days. Usually I make it a day in advance, as a lunch to take to work the next day.

Zuni Ricotta Gnocchi

The theme of this month’s “kuvarijacije” game are gnocchi made of home-made ricotta!!

I have to admit that this is the first time I am making home-made cheese. Instructions were very clear and preparation simple, so there were no doubts about what to do. I bought the whole milk and double cream, as well as the cheesecloth, made the ricotta in the evening and left to drain during the night :)
