Gluten Free / Dairy Free Ricotta Cheese Substitute

I want to let you know ahead of time that this works really well in both baked ziti and lasagna, I've used it.  It has the perfect consistency.  What it lacks is the flavor of Ricotta, but I am not complaining as I said both of my dishes turned out delicious!

Ingredients
2 Cups Rice Milk 
(I am going to try almond milk next time just to see the difference in taste.)
½ Tsp. Lemon Juice
1 Tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch Of Salt
2 Tbsp Now Real Foods Agar Powder


Instructions
  • In a medium saucepan, mix together all of the ingredients above.
  • Very slowly bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and cool approximately 10 minutes. 
  • Once cool, place mixed in container, seal and place in fridge to set. (Should take several hours)
  • Blend with a hand (immersion) blender you have desired thickness.  (Food processor or regular blender should work as well)
