I followed the advice of other and added fresh garlic and other spices. It came out quite good. It's an easy to make recipe that hits the spot.

I'm not sure why other reviewers are so critical of this recipe. I added a chopped garlic clove to the mushroom, a generous grating of Parmesan, and found it delish. I would, however, say that any dish is best when you use fresh produce instead of frozen. Thanks for the great alternative!

I'm rating this 5 stars but only after doing a lot of work to it. I added fresh garlic and lots of seasonings including seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper as it was very bland. I used 2 6oz cans of mushrooms and one can of spinach as I did not have the fresh ingredients available. I kept seasoning the ricotta until I got that right and then followed the recipe.

I did not care for this recipe. It was really bland, and the lemon juice gave it a bit of a soured taste. I would suggest adding some herbs and perhaps some garlic.

I'm going to agree that the basic recipe is pretty bland. It's a good base to add to, though!

Gosh! Give this poor lady a break! Tryt saying something nice before being not so nice, eh? I thought this was a really great basic recipe. I added cream of chicken soup and a splash of milk. I only used half the ricotta and put it over chicken breasts instead of pasta. It was good!

More lemon juice, basil, and possibly fresh spinach?

After reading some horrible reviews, I made this anyway because I had everthing at hand to make it. I used fresh spinach, added a half cup of sour cream and roasted pine nuts. I used rotini instead of fettucine. It was good! Not colorful or pretty, but tasty! Kids wouldn't like it because it looks so bland.

This is a great recipe if your not in the mood to cook dinner. All I have to do is mention making this again and I get a "let's eat out tonight" or a "order something to go and I'll pick it up on my way home"! Works like a charm every time! It was a waste of good ricotta the first time I made it(even the dog turned up his nose at it...) but well worth it in the long run!

This was the worst meal I've ever cooked (and I've had some doozies)! My kids literally spit it out on their plates and I couldn't even force my own plate down. It all went in the garbage...I feel bad that I wasted a perfectly good tub of ricotta.

This is a great "basic" recipe and needs to be seasoned to taste. I chopped the mushrooms instead of using whole slices and added minced garlic, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sea salt, ground peppercorn, and shredded romano cheese. It turned out well and is a healthy altenative to the heavy cream in fettucine alfredo.

ideas are good, it's just when you put them together, it tastes disgusting (even after adding garlic, other spices...)

It was a little dry so I would add some milk next time, otherwise I thought it was pretty tasty.l

This dish is very easy to prepare. I made it in under 15 minutes, making the sauce as the noodles boiled. The mushroom, spinach and ricotta are a delicious combination, and the dish is overall filling and flavorful.

How could you not know going in that a recipe made with nearly a pound of ricotta cheese would be bland? I did my best to spice it up, with mixed results.
