Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

18 ounces (2 1/4 cups) ricotta cheese
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for greasing pan

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, egg whites, oregano and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Lightly oil an 8-inch springform baking pan. Pour in ricotta mixture, and smooth surface.
Bake until ricotta is dry on top but not browned, about 30 minutes; it will have risen slightly but will remain a thin disk. Allow to cool slightly, and release from pan. Cut into wedges, and serve warm with a plate of roasted tomatoes. (See recipe.)
