This recipe is okay. Didn't have many takers in my household. I agree with one of the prior reviewers that it comes out somewhat rubbery. Probably will not repeat this one.08/24/08

I'm not sure what happened... a cup of milk and 1/2 cup of ricotta made a really runny sauce. I baked this thing until it looked set and it was still really watery. I'm not a huge fan of the flavor of roasted garlic and I kept getting mouthfuls of it. I'm going to try this one again but sautee the garlic first and cut down on the amount of milk and I think it will be much better.10/31/05
