LOL Im writing an alteration to my own dish...in the recipe description I mentioned to season well with salt and pepper because ricotta cheese tends to be very bland....WELL I sprinkled a tiny bit of "Montreal Steak Seasoning" (which has coarse salt, pepper, garlic and other spices) and it tasted just right...it gave it the little UMPH! that it needed
