I think it would be fun to make homemade ricotta next time I make lasagna. :)

Yes, thats a great idea because then you can make the ricotta a little dryer than the store bought kind! This way the lasagna won't be too watery...which is the problem I usually have! Thats why I like to make my lasagna the day before I'm going to serve it. That gives it time to soak up the liquid. Pleclare's stove top lasagna would be great with fresh mozz and fresh ricotta! I'll go get the link!

Go for it Mommyluv! Next time I make it I'm going to ALOT of batches! I think I'll try a smoked mozz...a garlic mozz...and maybe a spanish olive one!

That link has lots of great info...but it makes it seem more difficult than it really is! I like the recipe on there for the mozz. I may try that one next time...with the yogurt and the buttermilk. Thanks Points!
