I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The ricotta cheese was too heavy for my taste, and the sauce was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't make this again.

This was a good recipe. I liked the creamy ricotta cheese and the crispy breadcrumb topping. However, I found the sauce to be a bit bland. I would probably add some more spices next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually use a jarred tomato sauce, but I've also made it with fresh tomatoes and it's just as good. I always get compliments when I make this dish.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly, and it turned out perfect. I used a jarred tomato sauce, and it was still very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used whole wheat spaghetti and low-fat ricotta cheese, and it was still very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
