Sometimes, yes. But they do taste different and their texture is different so the resulting dish will be quite different. I'd experiment first and see if you like the result before you serve it to someone else.

∙ 14y agoRicotta has a distinct flavor, but cottage cheese substitutes nicely if you don't have ricotta or are having trouble finding it. I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta in lasagna about 9 out of 10 times that I make it. It's just as delicious either way.

I would say no. Mascarpone is sweet and creamy whereas ricotta is drier and bland. I would recommend you use a cream cheese (like Philadelphia) instead.

Just don't substitute anything in this mixture, and you should be set! Ricotta cheese is similar to cottage cheese. They can be substituted. It is also easy to make ricotta; whole milk, heavy cream, salt and white vinegar. dairy curdles. Mascarpone is similar to cream cheese just sweeter. It is used in desserts, where as the cream cheese usage would require more sugar.

Can cream cheese be used instead of ricotta?
Id depends on what your intended use is for the ricotta as to whether cream cheese may be substituted. In general i would say no because the two cheese while both being soft and white are very different in their textures and uses in food preparation and cooking. sometimes mascarpone and cream cheese are interchangeable but i would insist on using ricotta when a recipe requires it.
