"It was very good and is great for leftovers too. I did make a key change: I used a homemade sauce instead of a jarred sauce. The homemade sauce already had onion and garlic so I left those out of t..." See morehe main recipe. I enjoyed the cheddar cheese in this recipe, my mother had always used only mozzarella. I recommend this recipe and I look forward to having it again (with my own sauce recipe). Oh yah, add some shredded parmessan after you take it from the oven!"

"this is great...what works for me is to add an egg in with the ricotta mixture. It really helps with the spreading, gives it a better texture...." See more"

"I had to use more than double the amount of sauce that the recipe called for. I also added some cottage cheese for more filling and flavor. Otherwise, good...." See more"
