I love this recipe. Again, it's a way to sneak a variety of veggies into my son's diet. I really don't even miss the meat when I make it. I'm sure it would even be good if you tossed some ground turkey or beef into the mix.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's a family favorite. I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese so I use cottage cheese instead. I hope your family enjoys this dish, too.
