Very good and rich! I used 40 g less butter than called for (all I had!) but it did not seem to affect the sauce much - apart from that I followed the recipe. I might try leaving out the ricotta next time and making a bit more of the sauce in order to make the texture as smooth as the taste... Great dish, thank you!Reply
