I followed the recipe exactly; all 8 were eaten by friends and family in less than a day!This recipe is so close to one that I have made for years (and my mother before that) that I am sure they all tried it at some point in their lives!
This was so delicious, I made ahead and didn't have ricotta cheese to keep me company while I was cooking. I made a dozen small tortes (2 x 4 inch) and used the hot cocoa powder to add color. I also sprinkled chopped walnuts over the tortes, just a little. The chocolate chips warmed my way. I could have gone bigger, I was really happy with the 1/4 of a recipe. Kids kept asking for the recipe. I will make it again.
I made it but it was really very dry. I would not call it rich... It was just as dry as my grandmother's spaghetti. I will make it in the future but not sure what would be better--a bit more pasta OR a bit less cheese.
I used Ranch (gave it 5 stars)instead of Sour Cream. I noticed my pumpkin didn't quite have the watery taste I was after. So, I gave it another go and added a little salt and pepper. It was fabulous. Next time I make pumpkin pie, I won't add the cinnamon. It was so good I'd make it again.
