Made this for Fall Pick-A-Chef 2011. I followed the instructions except that I mixed some panko with the breadcrumbs and I seasoned the tomatoes inside. I did find that I had extra filling for my tomatoes even after filling them way to the top but they were delicious. Maybe my tomatoes were smaller. Will make this again only cutting the ricotta cheese down to 1/2 to 3/4 cup. Thank you for submitting.
