    I followed recipe closely, unfortunately the dish came out very bland. Perhaps adding sharper cheese, or spices to the mix could give it more taste character..

      Hello Anna, thank you for following the recipe and your comment.
      If you prefer more flavoured cheese you could use feta cheese instead of ricotta cheese.
