Comments on the second trial run of the recipe:

1. Ricotta cheese was 100% better than cream cheese, and blended well with the pasta and tomato sauce flavors.
2. Didn't end up adding anything other than a little olive oil to the pasta therefore it was still quite plain on the bottom.
3. Thinking outside the box for the third trial run of this recipe, thinking I will use something to substitute the pasta for some different textures and flavors.
4. Could taste the sour cream over the ricotta cheese, thinking more ricotta next time.

Overall this version was better than the last, but still needed something. I would give it a rating of a 7.
