Two ricotta-inspired pasta dishes to satisfy your crowd this spring

Skip going out and make a restaurant-worthy dish at home, thanks to chef Christine Cushing. She shared two delish and fresh ricotta-forward pasta dishes that will fill up the whole family. 

Wild mushroom and ricotta cannelloni

Ricotta is the star of the show in this comfort food classic. The creamy, sweet filling is the ideal canvas for hearty mushrooms and herbs. It is also great for batch cooking and freezing. 

Ricotta gnocchi with pumpkin seed pesto

Pillowy gnocchi pairs perfectly with this homemade pesto.
