I love to buy ricotta for pizza too! But usually I buy 16oz tubs from the regular grocery store 😂 my usual fallback for using up ricotta is to make the ricotta berry cake from Yossi Arafi’s Snacking Cakes. It’s so easy and uses up one cup of ricotta at a time. I also sometimes use it as a spread on toast. Olive oil + salt/pepper for savory, honey and sprinkle of cinnamon for sweet. I might have made ricotta pancakes once? Those are always tasty!
I haven’t made before but imagine a ricotta cheesecake would use up quite a bit too. Or lasagna/stuffed shells/baked pasta. Or cannoli filling! I love cannolis...
These look so delicious, and I love the addition of Kamut flour! Will definitely have to try these!
For ricotta baking, I am a big fan of Louisa's cake recipe on Food52. One of my favorite adaptations includes reducing the sugar in the batter, and adding 1/2 cup of jam swirled into the batter, with a bit more jam glazing the top; it's also great with just about any fruit.

So many delicious ideas, thank you! Ricotta cheesecake is on my list to try. And I love ricotta on toast as well. Yum!
