Frittelle salate con ricotta-Savory Fritters with Ricotta

I had some ricotta and didn’t know what to do with it; I wasn’t in the mood for something sweet, so I made savory ricotta fritters. They were simple to make, and in no time at all I had these delicious fritters ready. I started by working the ricotta—that is, I stirred it a bit with a fork. Then I added an egg, 4 tablespoons of flour, a packet of baking powder, a little Parmesan, salt, and pepper. I mixed all the ingredients vigorously. I put a pan with some extra virgin olive oil on the stove, and while the oil was heating up, I formed small balls using a spoon and rolled them in a plate of flour. I shaped the flour-coated balls with my hands and then fried them on both sides in the hot oil… and that’s it! Once fried, I placed them on a serving plate lined with paper towels.
