  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of ricotta weighs about 15.5 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 15.3 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 20.6 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Ricotta is a soft Italian fresh cheese made from the whey left over from harder cheeses, giving it a light, grainy texture and a milky, slightly sweet flavour. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 258 grams or 9.1 ounces. It fills cannoli, lasagne, and stuffed pasta, and folds into cakes and pancakes for tenderness.

Ricotta is sold in 250 g or 500 g tubs, while recipes often call for cups or tablespoons. Weighing in grams gives a more honest measure than scooping the soft, uneven curds into a measuring cup.

  • whole-milk ricotta

Cream cheese is denser, smoother, and tangier than ricotta (230 g vs 258 g per cup). Ricotta carries visible curds, so smooth no-bake fillings need straining or blending; in baked cheesecakes the two work as a 1:1 swap with a slightly drier, less tangy result from ricotta. See what 100 grams of cream cheese is in tablespoons.

Mascarpone is much richer and smoother than ricotta (240 g vs 258 g per cup), with around 40% fat to ricotta's 13%. Swap 1:1 by volume in fillings only when a grainier, lower-fat result is acceptable; for tiramisu or buttercream, mascarpone is the better choice. See what 100 grams of mascarpone is in tablespoons.

Cottage cheese is wetter and curdier than ricotta (234 g vs 258 g per cup), with a tangier flavour. Swap 1:1 in lasagne or savoury bakes; for sweet fillings, drain or blend cottage cheese first to match ricotta's softer texture. See what 100 grams of cottage cheese is in tablespoons.

Goat's cheese is tangier and lighter than ricotta (150 g vs 258 g per cup), with a more pronounced flavour. It works as a swap in salads, tarts, and savoury fillings, but the goaty tang makes it unsuitable in sweet dishes where ricotta is neutral. See what 100 grams of goat's cheese is in tablespoons.

Feta is saltier and more crumbly than ricotta (150 g vs 258 g per cup), with a sharper briny flavour. They serve different purposes: ricotta is used for its mild creaminess in pasta and baking, while feta adds a salty punch in salads and savoury pastries. See what 100 grams of feta is in tablespoons.

Paneer is firm and dry where ricotta is soft and wet (226 g vs 258 g per cup). Use paneer when a recipe needs cubes that hold their shape; ricotta suits creamy baked fillings. See what 100 grams of paneer is in tablespoons.
