Ricotta all the way, I just perfer how it tastes so much more over Cottage cheese. Besides that and my mom would always top her cottage cheese with pineapple and a bunch of pepper....just kinda turned me off cottage cheese for a lifetime....ew
I like ricotta a lot more. I don't like the texture of cottage cheese because of the chunks emotion_puke. It is alright if you blend it up and make it smoother, but I don't think it bakes the same.
Sadly, I am pretty sure cottage cheese is a lot healthier due to it's high protein content..
