Saltimbocca with cottage cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The dish is very tasty and unusual! You can use turkey breast, then your saltimbocca will be larger. Unfortunately, fresh sage is hard to find here, so you can add a pinch of dried sage to the filling, but only a small amount—the dried herb has a very strong aroma. Serve hot.

Step 1
For the filling, it's better to use ricotta, as it's softer than regular cottage cheese. Add sweet pepper blended with a blender, a bit of garlic, aromatic Italian herbs, and a pinch of sage. Season with salt and pepper to taste, pour in some olive oil, and mix well. The filling is ready!
