Layered Pasta Ricotta Pie

"This is such a beautiful dinner! I especially like making it around the holidays cuz the layers are basically red, and green. But it's great any time! A good way to sneak in some vegies for the kids."

  1. Very nice! I would have given this 5 stars, but my husband didn't like it. It looked beautiful coming out of the springform pan, and sliced very nicely, even though I messed up and put almost the whole jar of sauce in with the egg whites instead of 1.5 cups! I added roasted garlic into the ricotta mixture and loved the flavor it gave. The topping is very interesting, like a tomato souffle and I can't wait to serve this to my vegetarian friends. Best of all, it uses pantry ingredients and was a snap to put together. Thanks!
