    Its a every day dish, nothing fancy but quite tasty. I might add some red bell peppers to give it a bit more taste. All make it again, its quick, good and simple! - 10/2/09

    This was pretty tasty! The ricotta does kinda give it a grainy texture in the beef but it's definately yummy. I might mix the ketchup into the ricotta mix the next time to give it a more sweetness and flavor. Definately would make again. Hubby even liked it! - 5/8/08
