sounds great. i may have to try this, but I adjust things with sauces and cheeses. Ricotta is a great "upgrade" for the cottage cheese, and some marsala wine applied liberally with garlic salt to balance makes KILLER tomato sauce in my experience. :)

Rat I would have to agree. A little marsala wine
makes a rich sauce.
