It was quite good with these changes.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-09-17","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Stacy936"},"reviewBody":"
This recipe was a delightful surprise! The vibrant colors and creamy texture made for a hearty and satisfying meal. I added a few more garlic cloves for extra flavor and substituted half-and-half for a richer taste. While I loved the peppers, I'm excited to try variations with broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots next time.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-10-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"rjbeery75"},"reviewBody":"
After reading the other reviews, I used half and half instead of fat free milk, 3 cloves of garlic, 1\/2 tsp of oregano and basil and substituted sliced mushrooms for the green pepper and served it with shredded Parmesan. Very good! I am going to make it again and add my home-made pesto to the ricotta and half and half. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-09-30","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"annrms"},"reviewBody":"This recipe looked so beautifully delicious in the magazine, but after reading the current reviews, I knew it needed some helpful improvements. The first thing I did was to include a medium sliced onion. To me, peppers and onions just go together. I kept the hot pepper flakes the same because we like very spicy, but directions could state, \"or to taste\". Instead of a combined 1\/2 teaspoon of dried herbs, I used 1\/2 tablespoon of Italian seasonings because that was all I had. I mixed them into the ricotta mixture so they would \"bloom\". Towards the end of cooking the vegetables, I added 3 cloves of minced garlic. The results were tasty and delicious. The ricotta cream was just the right amount to coat the pasta.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-01-13","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"ms11145"},"reviewBody":"I'm giving this a very generous 4 stars. Pros: it is a pretty dish with the multi=colored peppers.Cons: the sauce is tasteless and bland.

Next time I will search for the recipe online if I find one I like in the magazine. I love spicy dishes but there was way too much crushed red pepper. Once you got past that, I agree with everyone else because it was incredibly bland. I'm going to add jarred alfredo sauce to the leftovers because I hate wasting food and this is borderline inedible on its own.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-06-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"MelanieGuenther"},"reviewBody":"Just blah...
