Here is a tasty recipe that we tried recently. Will definately be making this again, especially once I start making my own fresh ricotta. Nice summer dish.

Thanks, Maryanne! Got the fresh ricotta, I'm in a risotto/orzo phase at the moment and this fits right in-it sounds really good.
I have MC and haven't done a thing with it, I don't know where to start. So there it sits, taking up space.
Copied and printed.

hmmm, that's dinner tonight with some shrimp, I think. And I do have some l/o homemade ricotta to use up.
Country Living - it's been so long since I've looked at that magazine. I used to subscribe for years.

I rounded up everything last night - and got all ready to fix this for dinner, but no orzo!!! I think it will be dinner tonight. I like the idea of some shrimp too, Jean.

Don't waste your money, Jean. It's almost all advertising. Very disappointing, I won't be buying it.

OMG! This sounds awesome! Thanks Maryann! I've got everything so on the list of sides...I'm getting tired of potatoes from the garden. Time to find a place to "keep" them.

Well, we had this last night, but I really can't give it a fair review...I had so any dibs and dabs of things in the fridge to use up that it wouldn't be fair. But, it was wonderful, we really enjoyed it and a great way to use up homemade ricotta when it gets near the end of its time.

one of our anon friends was looking at this thread - I haven't made this for so long. It's time, I think.
