what to do with mascarpone?

FemmeAuFoyer

I freeze it as is. My favourite pasta sauce is to roast some veg like peppers, courgette and aubergine, then get the stick blender out and mix the veg with some mascarpone, it's lovely!

you cold do a tomato and marscapone pasta bake, just make a tomato sauce (pasatta or howvere you usually do it) and then add your marscapone to it with some veggies etc, then do your pasta bake as usual, YUM!

Hi ellen,

There are some nice ideas on this older thread: what to do with mascarpone?

I'll merge your thread with that one later as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.

I'm not too sure about freezing it as I think it might seperate on thawing.

Anyway, a few things I do with it

A dollop in mashed potatoes, lovely flavour
Add a dollop at the end of risotto, makes it even creamier
virtually any pasta dish is improved with mascarpone

The only other things I can think of are sweet things like
topping for fruit salad
mixed with a bit on honey and top pancakes or sweet omelette
any cheesecake
And my favourite - drizzle a little Bailey's on some Pandoro or panettone and top with a dollop of mascarpone (extremely calorific)

OOh there are some good suggestions here

I usually have it as 'cream' with a scone and some jam if there's any left over.

Hi, any pasta recipe that uses cream is twice as good with mascarpone

We like pasta shapes with smoked salmon and mascarpone and lots of parmesan.

my daughter makes a lovely mushroom and marscapone sauce for pasta, fry some chopped onion, add lots of sliced mushrooms and fry for a few mins, add a glass or so of white wine, garlic and herbs then stir in a tub of marscapone, heat through and you have a yummy sauce!

Use it instead of sour cream with a chilli or tortilla wraps.

I like mine melted on pancakes and maple syrup (preferably thick spongy american style pancakes, but flat 'crepes' will do)

I made a gorgeous tomato and mascarpone pasta sauce last night, but now I have almost a full tub of the cheese left over. I am TRY desperately not to turn it into a cheese cake or tiramisu, but I can't think of how else to use it in more of a main dish/savoury way?

Looking online i only seem to find pasta sauces and cheescake!
