[*Parsley*]

I love ricotta cheese, and I loved this linguine! I used part-skim ricotta to cut down the fat a little bit. I had to add a splash or so of milk because the consistency was too "sticky." Also, I thought it needed pretty much salt. I loved the addition of the fresh parsley. As mentioned in the introduction, I'd love to try this with other herbs..... perhaps dill! Thanx for sharing.
