No. Plain yogurt is a good substitute for sour cream. A substitute for ricotta cheese is cottage cheese that has been drained of excess water (use cheese cloth or seive).
full fat ricotta or cream cheese does the job.
Can be and is also substituted in lasgne. I'm not a fan of ricotta myself though
Ricotta cheese
You can but it would have a different texture. You would be better off using cream cheese or mascarpone.
I would say no. Mascarpone is sweet and creamy whereas ricotta is drier and bland. I would recommend you use a cream cheese (like Philadelphia) instead. You can use 8oz of Cream Cheese, 1/4 cup of Heavy whipping cream and 2 1/2 tbsp of Sour Cream and whip it together... This is VERY similar...! Just don't substitute anything in this mixture, and you should be set! Ricotta cheese is similar to cottage cheese. They can be substituted. It is also easy to make ricotta; whole milk, heavy cream, salt and white vinegar. dairy curdles. Mascarpone is similar to cream cheese just sweeter. It is used in desserts, where as the cream cheese usage would require more sugar.
You are most likely referring to the ricotta cheese. Many people substitute cottage cheese for ricotta cheese so that may be your answer as well.
You can add milk to cream cheese so it isn’t as think, then use it as substitute for sour cream
Yes but cream cheese would be better.
Ricotta cheese is NOT a substitute for romano cheese. Use parmesan if you must. Ricotta cheese is more like cottage cheese. Romano cheese is a stronger, tastier than parmesan cheese also know as the pizza cheese.
Cottage Cheese
Low fat cream cheese, or low fat Greek yogurt would normally make ideal substitutes for cottage cheese in the diet. (Since cottage cheese is low fat, the substitutes must also be low-fat versions).
