Ricotta and Orange Fritters

Ricotta fritters are pure indulgence — golden, plush, and lightly scented with citrus. Inspired by Italian castagnole di ricotta, traditionally made for Carnival, this version folds bright orange zest into the batter and finishes each fritter with a glossy vanilla-flecked, orange-spiked glaze. Every bite is soft, fragrant, and irresistibly rich.

If you’re looking for new plant-based dishes to try, add this savory, substantial and satisfying red sauce — minus the meat — to your weekly meal plan. Three kinds of mushrooms swap in for ground beef, poultry or pork, bringing along plenty of earthy, umami flavor with them. Vegetable broth, red wine and canned tomatoes create a saucy blend, with green herbs for freshness. While this can be served with any pasta, it works best with shapes, like jumbo shells, that have pockets and nooks to catch the mouthwatering ragu.

All of the ingredients, including a generous heap of baby spinach and juicy shredded chicken, fit nicely in the Le Creuset 6.5 Qt  Deep Round Dutch Oven, which allows plenty of space for family-sized recipes.
