***I have now made some changes to this delicious recipe over the years -- I normally use half a pound of ground beef and half a pound of hot Italian sausage. I've actually totally eliminated the ricotta and just add dollops of a garlic and herb cream cheese spread over the top, then kind of swirl it in lightly so it stays creamy. Then I top the skillet at the very end with slices of fresh mozzarella instead of the shredded stuff in a bag and a fresh basil chiffonade. I cover it with a lid for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
