For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add a clove of minced garlic to the mushrooms. Fresh spinach can be used in place of frozen, just be sure to wilt it down in the pan before adding the ricotta. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out.
