    Okay, I was wondering exactly what .5 cups is for the onions and red peppers? I am dying to make this for Lent especially on Fish Fridays. Thanks! - 2/27/09

    The same as 1/2 cup. They are in for flavor, feel free to skip if you don't like the items. I used 1/2 of a hot pepper last night to add a little heat to the dish.

    Making this tonight. Can't wait. The marinara sauce is it 3/4 cups (typo?) or actually 3.4 cups? (Seems like an odd measurement.) Thanks for the recipe! - 3/4/09

    Excellent and very healthy! I substitute Veggie Shreds for the parmesan and it saves some fat, calories and cholesterol - 3/4/09

    I think i used a 12 oz container. It ended up being about a cup, but the more the better!!! I love cheese.

    Wow, I feel so loved. Sorry about the tofu. I chopped it and added with the veggies.

    Where does the tofu come in? Is it additional or in place of something else in the recipe? - 2/27/09

    I fixed it. I'm sorry. I added with the veggies for some added protein.

    LISS327,
    Did you substitute tofu for the ricotta cheese?? i was just wondering because in the directions you said to mix in the tofu but tofu was not on the ingrediants listing. I am a vegan so that would help. Thanks. It looks delicious. - 2/27/09

    I'm sorry, I was really sick when I tired to write this, please let me know what other errors I made, I'm sure there are more :)
    I used extra firm tofu, dicd it and mixed it in with the veggies. I did this because I felt compelled to add some protein. Thanks again!!!
