Which movie are you catching?
It’s a French movie. The French title is “Ma mère, dieu et Sylvie Vartan”. According to IMDB the English title is “Once Upon My Mother”. It’s about a woman raising a son that has clubfoot at a time when there weren’t many resources available for those with disabilities. I’m seeing it as part of my membership with the Ottawa Film Society.

Ricotta is easy to make at home. It’s just milk, an acid like vinegar or lemon juice, maybe a little salt.

I confess I don’t like ricotta in ravioli, because it doesn’t melt. Cream cheese is a good idea.

Thanks for the information about ricotta. It doesn’t sound all that hard to make my own. I’m not sure if I have any cheese cloth in stock. I remember purchasing some many years ago, but don’t know where it got to.
As far as the cream cheese, I softened it a bit in the microwave. It easily mixed in with the rest of the ingredients. It also acted as a nice binder holding everything together and easily spooning onto the pasta sheets.
I think it was just dumb luck that all the flavors played nice together.

Caldo verde and bifana on Portuguese buns. All homemade and all from https://leitesculinaria.com/.
They really hit the spot on a cold and rainy day. Plenty of caldo verde for the freezer, too. Happy tummies.

BF made his fabulous meatballs and marinara. He’s really nailed both. (I’d have had more than the one ball but was still full from a late lunch slice o’pizza.)
