Sometimes simple is the way to go. Especially when we're both fighting off some gross sickness. This recipe is no frills but amazing in it's simplicity. Mr. Lawyer was in charge of this dish. He decided to use turkey instead of beef and he add some red pepper flakes and oregano to the ricotta mixture (and then sprinkled some on top). He also claims that the "meat flavored" Francesco Rinaldi sauce made a difference. Whether it was the turkey or the sauce this time it was much better than the first time he made it.
