      I just made this using nonfat ricotta cheese and light butter. I also used Pam Olive oil spray instead of butter to "butter" the pan. It was delicious and, I'm sure, considerably lower in calories and fat. Very easy to make as well.

      This is a very tasty dish but I did a couple of things wrong. The recipe says to use a deep oven dish - I used a 2 1/2" dish and this made it a bit dry - I found that 20 minutes in the oven was not enough time to cook the eggs and brown the cheese. The asparagus only needs to be sauted for about 5 minutes (I like them crisp) It is easily enough for 8 persons if it is a side dish and not the main course. I am not awarding stars because I feel it was my errors that caused it to be dry and want to be fair in my rating a/o comments

      I expanded the recipe a little to feed a larger group and put sauteed chicken breast as the bottom layer. It could have used a tiny bit of chicken stock in the expanded recipe, but was an absolute success. Very well recived - thank you!

      This dish is excellent. I have made it twice now and the second time I didn't have any ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese which was also good.

      I enjoyed this. If you want a flavor punch dish, this is not for you. It had subtle, delicous flavor though. I omitted the butter and cooked the aspargus in chicken stock instead and I used light ricotta as well. Everytime I make a pasta dish that requires the pasta to be layered without a 'real' sauce (lasagna for example) - it always turns out dry. For this reason, I mixed everything together instead of layering. I added the eggs on the top and baked as directed. I will definitely be making this again, I thought it was wonderful! Update, I have to say, this is one my most made Zaar recipes, I am so glad I found it. When I buy asapargus, this is the first thing I think of! Thanks again!

      This was good...I sauteed one shallot and one garlic clove in the butter, along with the asparagus. I also seasoned up the ricotta a bit more and added some of the chicken stock and pasta cooking water to it. We all enjoyed it and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for a new recipe!

      We didn't care for this but I think I know why - my Italian grandma always mixes her egg with the ricotta cheese in her dishes instead of just pouring it on top - we didn't care for the egg taste. If I try this recipe again, I'd make that change.

      Too much butter for me. I like ricotta cheese, but didn't think it did anything for this dish. I won't make this one again.

      This was pretty good but I think it needed a little bit more flavor. I will make it again but maybe add some ingredients to give it a kick. Good overall.

      This was really good. I changed it up a bit because of all the comments about the subtle flavor. Sauteed a small red onion and several garlic cloves in olive oil before cooking the asparagus in chicken stock only. Added dried basil to the ricotta cheese. Added 3/4 stick of butter to the Penne noodles after cooking. This was a rich dish, but very tasty. Mine wasn't dry, but I am going to try it with a little red tomato sauce with the left overs.

      I felt this was a little dry. For some reason my asparagus was tough. The flavor was good. I would consider making this again but possibly as a side dish.

      We did like this, but I changed a bunch of things: I cooked up about 3/4 lb of chicken strips first, then added some chicken stock and the asparagus. Let that cook until the asparagus was tender. I added garlic powder, a little onion powder, black pepper and red pepper flakes to the ricotta/parm/egg mix. Next time will only use 2 eggs. Used only a little bit of butter and oil when sauteeing the chicken. My husband had 3rds.

      I used creamed cottage cheese, a little less butter. I also wasn't sure what a "deep oven dish" was, so I used a 9x13 casserole...it seemed fine but maybe dry. I cooked my asparagus for awhile, I knew my husband would like it softer. Thanks!
