  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           Parmesan cheese -- or
   1      cup           nonfat Parmesan cheese
   1      cup           fat-free parmesan cheese
                        **--**
   1      cup           cream -- or
     2/3  cup           ricotta cheese, part skim milk -- or
     2/3  cup           fat-free ricotta cheese -- blended with
     1/3  cup           skim milk

PARMESAN: Nonfat will save 100 calories and 25 grams of fat; use in lasagna
and other pasta dishes; add to canned fat-free cream soups and sauces as a
thickener and as a way to add richness.

NOTE - MC3 analysis: we GAIN 100 cals but lose the fat
364.6 cals, 24 g fat for 1 cup parmesan cheese
480.0 cals, 00 g fat for 1 cup nonfat 

CREAM: Save 674 calories and 88 grams of fat. One reminder: If you use the
ricotta mixture in a sauce that will be heated, be sure to cook it over low
heat just until it's heated through; it can separate if boiled.
