This was absolutely delicious. I used rice cheese shreds instead of Italian cheese, and 1 box of Mori-Nu firm lite tofu seasoned with 1/2 t. onion powder and 1/2 t. salt instead of the ricotta. For the sauce I used pasta marinara sauce. It is something I will make again, next time I may add some vegetarian sausage bits. Thank you for the recipe!

As a novice cook I found this recipe easy enough to prepare. I made it for a special dinner party and the older demographic was deeply impressed, thus, I fully intend on making it again.
