We origionally found this in a Dutch Oven cookbook, but we have tweaked it over the years until we have this version. I am a diabetic, so we worked to make it diabetic friendly. Most of my kids don't like Ricotta cheese so they love this version that doesn't include it. I also have one that is a vegetarian so she can enjoy this with the rest of the family.
