Ricotta is so difficult to find in Texas, good ricotta that is. In RI my kids would sit watching me make lasagna and steal spoonfuls of ricotta out of the container. The stuff they have in Texas tastes like plastic, same for the mozzarella. Last year I couldn’t find Frego brand which isn’t too bad.
No Polly-o? They even have that in Phoenix! No Italian specialty stores? How sad.
