Never heard of this before and it looks like cream cheese is standard. Is the cream cheese not over powering?

[–] OceanEyes@lemmyf.uk 3 points 2 years ago

Not at all. It has very balanced flavors. It’s only 4oz of cream cheese for the whole 9x13 casserole dish recipe

It's not that different from ricotta, honestly. Though I'd probably lean towards ricotta rather than cream cheese for most Italian recipes.

[–] OceanEyes@lemmyf.uk 3 points 2 years ago

It’s a ricotta and cream cheese mixture. If you read the post.

Cream cheese is fairly mild. Is that not your experience?

Cheese and tomato spagwhich

I understand "fresh basil" (vs. say freeze dried). I know what "chopped basil" means.

But "live grown"?? Do we have 3D printed basil as an option and noone told me?

[–] SirXer6xes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure live grown means that you use the spaghetti dish as the growing medium.

No recipe along with instructions? I am saddened.

Nice photo though.

My friend's grandmother made something similar but with tomato sauce, back when I was a kid. I haven't had it in decades, and I think this is my cue to do something about that.
