This was pretty good. I think I would leave out the ricotta next time. It just wasn’t a crucial component. ***Made this again. This time with whole milk ricotta. Very good! Five stars.

This was absolutely delicious. I made it as described but also had a little bit of fresh spinach I needed to use up and threw it in. It was a big hit among everyone. I will definitely make this again.
