Veggie Ricotta Cheesecake

This recipe comes from 101 Cookbooks where you find some really good recipes.  It was originally called Zucchini Ricotta Cheesecake but I added sundried tomatoes and broccoli and resorted to a more inclusive title.  I did adapt this recipe so please check out the original for lots of tips.

This made an interesting and delicious meal.
