Are the two interchangeable? I want to make lasagna, but just realized I'm out of Ricotta cheese, but I have farmer cheese. Anyone ever try this? Please don't recommend I use cottage cheese, I'm out of that , too, and my DD will not touch it, and she'll know the difference.

Hmm...thanks for the replies. I didn't think the two tasted so different. The consistency IS a lot firmer though than ricotta . I guess we'll wait and see.

Could somebody translate into 'English' English please?! What exactly IS farmer cheese? Can you purchase it in this country?
Thanks Smile

Which country would that be mummy-bh?

Anyways, I had a small amount of ricotta cheese left, so I used basically half ricotta and half farmer cheese. It didn't taste any different , but the whole lasagna felt a bit firmer, so I think had I used all farmer cheese, it would've been too firm. None of the kids complained, though!
