I really enjoyed this casserole. The magazine did say that the prep time was =< 20 minutes, which I thought was an underestimate. It took me quite awhile to chop all the vegetables and blend the ricotta. But it was delicious. I added some crushed red pepper to the finished product, and it was great! It also reheats quite nicely.
