Followed the recipe exactly, even to searching out the SM tomatoes. We didn't care for the flavor and especially the texture of the sauce. It turned out to be almost grainy.

Nice results though recipe does not mention how to use the garlic listed in the ingredients. I added it to the battuto of carrots, celery and onion. One of my children called this "Pasta Calzone" since the ricotta and tomato reminded him of a calzone. Will definitely make this again.

Though Mario's recipes are almost always delicious, they're not usually as quick and easy as this one. I still can't get over the recommendation to mince the carrot, onion, celery, and pancetta (I used turkey bacon BTW in the food processor! I too had some ricotta to use up and this was the perfect recipe. And there's really no pressing need to drain the ricotta as I ended up adding about a coffee mug full of the pasta water into the dish anyway. This recipe really showed me that ricotta can be used to add a level of creaminess to almost any pasta sauce. My partner thought I'd made it with cream but I just used lowfat ricotta.

I was looking for a recipe to use up some left over ricotta cheese. I modified this to our taste and to what I had around the house. I chopped up one carrot, one celery stalk and a bunch of broccoli. I omited the onion and the pancetta and used a whole 6 ounce can of tomato paste. I did add extra water to help dilute the mixture. I also used a can of diced tomoatoes instead of whole. My whole family loved it.
