Has anyone ever tried freezing ricotta cheese? Does it come out ok? Most often I use it mixed into pasta dishes and lasagna. It's easy to hide it there but occasionally I make a stuffed pepper appetizer where it is the main ingredient. Would I still he able to use it for this also?

i have never frozen it, but if you flip upside down in your fridge, it will last way longer than the expiration date. something about an airtight seal....

I've frozen it before. The texture isn't always quite right afterwards, so I don't know know about your pepper dish - depends on the texture when it thaws back out, so I wouldn't rely on it. But it definitely works fine in lasagna or other pasta bakes.

I was curious so according to Sargento:

Sargento Ricotta cheese can also be frozen for up to two months, but freezing may affect the texture of the cheese. If you freeze it, we suggest thawing it in the refrigerator. After thawing, you may find some liquid on top of the cheese. Just stir that liquid back into the cheese.

I have froze it before without any issues...I just thaw it in refg.--I usually add stuff ie: seasonings ect so I stir it anyways.

I have and never had any issues... Sometimes the consistency isnt the same, but I usually use that one for a pasta dish.
