Sounds good!

Can be simplified even more if she want's a pasta dish.

Im, you can use a layer of spagetti, a layer of the ricotta mix, a layer of
spagetti and a final one of the mix. I'd add some sprinkled seasoning of
choice to each layer as otherwise this is a bit bland. My own choice would
be to add a thin layer of crushed tomatos and horseradish (essentually a
seafood cocktail dip).
