Hi bells25

I tried this over the weekend with a few modifcations (I used feta instead of ricotta and added garlic) and it was SO yummy! Didn't seem like diet food at all

Thanks,

OMG - this is soooo good!! I also added garlic because I am a garlic nut. It tastes too good to be Cohen's.
Thanks Bells25
Was wondering how it may go if I cooked it the night before and reheated for lunch at work the next day? Should I leave out the ricotta and just add it after I have reheated it??
Thanks Kirsten

Kirsten I make soup with ricotta in it and freeze and reheat so can't see why it would be a problem
