I had left over Ricotta and didn’t know what to do with it. This will make an excellent breakfast:

• 4 cups rolled oats (not the quick cooking kind)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries
• 1 tsp salt
• ¾ cup Light Ricotta Cheese
• 2 ½ cups water
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, combine oats, fresh blueberries, salt and Ricotta. Add water, orange juice and vanilla and stir until combined. Pour into a buttered 8 cup baking dish and bake for one hour at 350F. Remove from oven and serve warm; top with additional Ricotta and fresh blueberries if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

Note: For a quick and easy alternative, follow directions for preparing a packet of plain instant oatmeal and stir in a heaping tablespoon of Ricotta and sliced fresh fruit before serving.
