Among the cheeses, ricotta was my favorite. And yet, knowing that cheese has no place in the human body because of how it is made and how it harms the gut and the blood vessels, I made this vegan version when I made my Eggplant Lasagna. You will be surprised how good it taste !
This all-healthy 7 ingredients Vegan Ricotta Recipe is easy, healthy & delicious! Perfect for Lasagna, Stuffed Shells, and even as a dip or for sandwiches.
