Preparation

Step 1

Directions

In a bowl mix the ricotta with the Parmesan, flour, salt and egg. Season with pepper and set aside in the fridge for few minutes.

Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan. Take spoonfuls of ricotta mixture and fry the cakes for a few minutes until brown on each side. They can be pretty hard to flip but if you do it gently it will work fine.

Gently remove from the pan and serve warm with fresh ripe tomatoes and your favorite herbs and dressings.
