RECIPE: Lactose free lasagna recipe

Watch out for the commercial lactose-free products. Although being safe for the lactose intolerant folks, these products might still contain sugar. Good to know for those of us who need less of it.

I've located a website that claims to have known the recipe for the homemade ricotta cheese. They say all you need is whole or 2% milk and either lemon juice or vinegar. Bring the milk almost to simmer, add lemon juice or vinegar, and let it sit while you work on the rest of the dinner. Another 10 minutes or so goes into straining the curds, and then the ricotta is ready for your lasagna, pizza, or whatever devious and delicious plans you have in store.

Hope this helps

Hmmm, does the simmering or adding the lemon juice/vinegar remove the lactose from the milk?

I have no idea. I just googled it.

Here now, I've found a website that provides a Lactose-Free Ricotta Cheese recipe. Here goes:

1/2 gal lactose-free milk

6oz lactose-free plain yogurt

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tsp non-iodized salt

1. Whisk milk and yogurt together in a large cooking pot over medium heat. Stir often to avoid scorching. Bring the milk up to 175 degrees (hot but not yet simmering; use a candy thermometer if you have one), and remove from heat. Add vinegar while stirring briefly. Tiny bits of curd will form. Set the mixture aside for 15 minutes.

2. Line a colander with several layers of cheesecloth. Pour curds and liquid (whey) into colander to strain. Let drain for at least an hour. Ideally, tie up the bundle with twine, thread the twine around a wooden spoon, and suspend the bundle over a pitcher to drain, in the refrigerator, for a couple of hours or more.

3. Transfer solids to a bowl and add salt, working in gently. (You can also add lemon zest, herbs, or anything you like for flavor.) Refrigerate in a covered container; keeps for about a week. (I think it makes about 2 cups)
