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.

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 1 ounce of cream cheese is in grams.
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 1 ounce of mascarpone is in grams.
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 1 ounce of cottage cheese is in grams.
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 1 ounce of goat's cheese is in grams.
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 1 ounce of feta is in grams.
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 1 ounce of paneer is in grams.
