Can ricotta cheese be frozen?
Milk & slice / bulk cheese freezes well, sour cream doesn't. The first two are fine taste & consistency-wise, sour cream was way off on both bases. IMHO I wouldn't think ricotta / cottage cheese would freeze well bc of this. Looks like its time to make lasagna for you!

Why did the ricotta not melt in the lasagna?
You have to cook it then let it cool completely so that it gets firm. When you are ready to serve it only heat it to 140 degrees, that way it is hot enough to eat but not hot enough to melt. I make my lasagna a day before then keep it in the fridge until we are ready to eat it.
Can you use mascarpone cheese instead of ricotta?
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.
