Great! I used half riccotta and 1/2 cottage cheese and added some oregano and basil. This was hardy and filling and enjoyed by guests last evening. Made for ZWT7, Shady Ladies. Thanks for a real keeper.

I thought this was delicious, and I would make it again. I used both ricotta and cottage cheese, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. The only thing I would do differently when I make this again is double the cheeses (it was a little scant for two layers) and add mozzarella on the top before baking. But definitely a recipe worth keeping. Thanks, Lavender Lynn. Made for ZWT7, Mischief Makers team.
