Everyone in my family loves this one and we tweak it to our own liking- I add mozzarella and tomatoes to my layers.


My brother makes it with a layer of sliced hardboiled eggs and bacon bits.


My Mom uses Ricotta and cottage cheese instead of goat and she adds sugar to the sauce.


You can get creative with this one! Have fun!

how about italian spinach dumplings? i got this recipe from the included link. enjoy!





INGREDIENTS





8 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained


8 ounces ricotta cheese


3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese


2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon plain dry bread crumbs


1 large egg, beaten with 1 large egg yolk


1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg


1 teaspoon plus 1 heaping tablespoon salt, preferably kosher


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


4 tablespoons (1/2 stick)


unsalted butter


6 fresh sage leaves, quartered





1. In a medium-size bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, the 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, melted butter, flour, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Mix well. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.





2. In a stockpot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil.





3. While the water is heating, uncover the ricotta mixture. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and quickly roll it into a ball. Flatten it slightly and place it on a piece of floured wax paper. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Flour your hands while you work to avoid too much stickiness.





4. When the water comes to a boil, add the tablespoon of salt and drop in the dumplings. Boil for 5 minutes.





5. While the dumplings are boiling, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the sage.





6. Preheat the broiler.





7. Drain the dumplings, and transfer them to a flameproof 8 x 12-inch baking dish. Pour the butter and sage over them, and sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top. Put the dish under the broiler just to brown the tops, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.





Serves 4.
