Each week I plan out my meals based on the sale ads, and many times I end up with a lot of left over products, like ricotta cheese. I use it whenever I make lasagna, but I don’t use the entire container. Instead of wasting the last of the ricotta, I make this awesome yummy Spinach Ricotta Dip for the family to munch on while I make dinner or to enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Sometimes leftovers in the refrigerator turn out to be the best tasting meal, besides just being a great way to use up leftover ingredients. This Homemade Yummy Spinach Ricotta Dip Recipe is a delicious hot dip to bring out for a crowd while watching a football game, to serve at your next bridal or baby shower, or even at brunch.
Loads of flavor and texture make it perfect for dipping chips or to spread on a buttery cracker.
