Ricotta Cheese

[jimrcqn]

Does anyone know where to find Ricotta cheese in Lima? I really like to make lasagna, but have not found ricotta; cottage cheese is a very poor substitute. Does it go by another name here?

I always go to a Casa de los Ravioles Centro Comercial Monterrico, Av. Primavera Alt Cdra, 15 - Surco
Phone. 4354036. It is in the parking lot behind Vivander in Monterrico.
It is homemade and really good. They also sell fresh mozzarella and fresh lasagna pasta. I also saw all of the above in Wong. I never tried Wong yet but will give it a shot one day.

Thank you. That is fairly close to me (though too far to walk). I'll check it out soon. I've looked often, but have never seen Ricotta at Wong or Plaza Vea or Tottus. In fact, it is very rare that I can find lasagna noodles, so I bring mine from the US. Good to know about a place that makes them fresh.

I did find lasagna noodles @ the Plaza Norte Wong. Ricotta was a little more difficult, and IIRC I used a different type cheese.

Will investigate this other place upon my return.

I've never had a problem finding lasagna noodles at Wong in Aurora.

try lasagna with bechemel or i've heard making ricotta isn't too difficult and fun. also plaza vea has some that are expensive. they also have fresh ones. or you can use the wonton wrappers. sounds strange, but tastes good!

I forgot to tell you at Wong the Fresh Pasta is by the cheese and deli section.

Just a warning...sometimes it's sold in Plaza Vea in hard little wrapped blocks and I've also seen it like this elsewhere. It will RUIN your lasagna because the texture is terrible. When I find it in a tupper I snap it up and plan my menu around it...
