Judi's notes: Do not use nonfat ricotta cheese here because it does not have a good flavor. Stick to the low-fat variety (Polly-O is my favorite) Also, I do not like the nonfat sour creams on the market so when making it you might consider the regular sour cream if you are not that concerned about the fat content. It uses such a small amount in the recipe and makes it taste so much better.
