🔸 Can I use canned asparagus?
Yes! But rinse well to remove excess salt and adjust cooking time.
🔸 Can I substitute ricotta with another cheese?
You can use cream cheese or cottage cheese, but ricotta gives a lighter texture.
🔸 How long does it last in the fridge?
In an airtight container, it keeps for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed fresh!
