Well, great but like others this has to be seen as a starter recipe. I started with sautéed chopped onion and garlic, Italian seasoning with extra oregano, and chili flakes. Then browned the ground pork and re salt/pepper and then the tomato sauce and washed out the jar with a half cup of dry white wine I didn’t have penne so I used cavatappi. Added the ricotta but previously mixed in fresh basil, salt and pepper. Finished with grated parm on top. Considered popping it in the oven for a baked topping but didnt.
Came out great! Served generously for three, with leftovers.

yummy, wanted to try something new and it was pretty good. substituted ricotta for cottage cheese and used roasted bell peppers and ketchup to season instead because I didn’t realize I didn’t have tomato sauce.

it was delicious! i had a pound of ground pork, used penne pasta, cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese (and a whole cup since i had extra pork), extra sauce which honestly it didn't need, and a can of corn. will definitely be making this again!

Turned out great though I used rotini and substituted cottage cheese for the ricotta and topped it off with a few dashes of Pepper Plant sauce. It was incredibly delicious!

I added to my recipe garlic,red onion,fresh diced Plum tomatoes,and spices as well such as basil,oregano. I used parsley and green onion to garnish. This meal was a hit at my home. 10/10

Added garlic and onion to the ground pork, salted the pasta, and some fresh basil for some razzle. My two year and I ate it up. Toddler approved.

I added some basil, thyme, and oregano so it wouldn't be too bland. Turned out really good and was easy to make. I served it with garlic bread.

It turned out excellent! I added onion and yellow and red peppers to the ground pork in the skillet. I didn't have any penne pasta and I used a garofalo pasta. And I used a four cheese pasta sauce instead too. I think the ricotta cheese is what really makes it delicious. I also added parsley flakes just to give it some color at the end and then put in grated parmesan cheese.

I think it looks fine. Added my own twist with some sriracha for some heat. (Lightly)

This was yummy! I substituted chickpea noodles for regular pasta and crumbled tofu for ricotta to make it even healthier.

Used bulk Italian Sausage instead of ground pork. Also added minced garlic to the sausage the last 30 seconds before adding the rest of the ingredients. A flavor pasta sauce is key to making this flavorful.

Good, quick and easy. I didn't have ricota, added some mussarela though. I'll try again another time.

Decent enough dish though some garlic and maybe even minced shallots would have improved this recipe to a 5 star. Ricotta cheese was a welcome addition though.

Really good, easy and quick. Only involved a few ingredients and the leftovers warm up excellent!

I used basil and tomato sauce and it turned out pretty good quick and easy meal good for busy moms such as myself. Taste wise it isnt the most amazing thing but for being quick and easy its yummy. Thanks for the recipe might add in onion and/or garlic next time for extra flavor
