It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

If you're craving something sweet and a bit exotic, this baked rasmalai ricotta and Cardamom Dessert is your answer. Creamy ricotta combined with fragrant cardamom just might become your new favorite indulgence.

2 containers (15 ounce size) Ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup dry milk powder
10 cardamom pods
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 cup half and half
Set aside 2 or 3 tablespoons sugar. Crush cardamoms to powder.
Mix cheese, sugar, milk powder and 1 crushed cardamom thoroughly. Spread the mixture in 13x8x2-inch glass pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
Sprinkle almonds on top and let cool for an hour. Mix half and half with the set aside sugar and rest of cardamom powder. Pour it on top of baked cake.
Chill in the fridge before serving.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
