    Delicious! I made a few substitutions for what I had available but it turned out great! I omitted the lemon juice, peppermint and ricotta. I used silken tofu, fresh rosemary and thyme and Braggs Amino acid for seasoning. I served it with sauteed spinach. Will definitely have this again. - 4/29/10
