Mmmmm, so good! I added some more pasta, used a little less salmon and had an "oops" moment too! I had everything ready to put together and the ricotta I thought I had wasn't there. I subbed it with a blend of buttermilk and cream cheese and it worked out just fine! I didn't need to add any pasta water. Made for PRMR tag game. Thanks TeresaS! :)

<p>? Hi! My name is Teresa.? My husband and I like to take RV trips but it seems lately we just us it for vintage motorcross races. I enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, have done some rock climbing but age is creeping up on my poor old bones. Anything to do with the outdoors I enjoy, so why do I live in rainy Washington state? We have 2 wonderful children, both grown. My son lives in LA and my daughter and her husband recently moved back in the area with their little boy...our grandson... who just turned?5 years old. We have a granddaughter who lives close by...she just turned 23 this year. She's a sweetheart.? Life is good when you have a son and a?daughter and they?gift?you with a granddaughter and grandson. :)??</p>
