I used both 9" rounds and doubled the chocolate topping. Beautiful, easy, and delish!

It is a really good base recipe (just as another user noted). I did add two cloves of garlic and a can of mushrooms; I used miniature farfalle pasta instead. Also, I reduced the 2 cans of tomatoes and instead used 1 can of plain tomatoes and one small can of tomato sauce with garlic and organo. Also, added crushed red pepper as desired.

This recipe is amazing. It made my boyfriend fall to pieces. I am making it again to take to Thanksgiving dinner at my bosses house and chose to bring this because her husband is a perfectionist, and I aim to impress. This one will knock the socks off of anyone, even if they don't like cheesecake. I also add a dash of cinnamon to the cheesecake mixture with hazelnuts lining the crust.
