Review:
As you can tell, my kids really loved this dish. Greg says it needs more meat. That is basically his comment after any meal I make 🙂 I bought the ricotta but I bet you could use cottage cheese and it would work just fine. This is another 4 star dish.
I was looking for a recipe like this and you happened to post it on my sons birthday 3/31/09, so Im going with it 🙂
I have to make it just because of the cute little guy. That picture makes me giggle.
