RE: BROOKUse partial skim milk, or all skim milk chesee and make sure to check the sodium content also. I believe the packages comes in ounces, unless you go to one of the clubs such as Costco, and get a very large package then you can use it several times. If too much, you can freeze the chesee in that case. Otherwise, it's still a good and simple meal.The fresh mozzerella usually comes in a ball the size of a small or medium size balled up fist and wrapped in plastic. You could also visit an Italian market/deli/store, if there is one in your area and get it really fresh, in its own liquid and it's not salty. Fresh ricotta usually comes in a small tub that you could probably reuse, this also comes in ounces, unless you can find a 16oz/1lb tub. Check around to see what suits you and how much you need for 1 person or several people.
