  •  eggs lightly beaten
  • 10 sprigs cilantro leaves fresh chopped
  • cloves garlic minced
  • ounce chiles diced green canned

  • ounce jalapeño peppers diced canned

  •  onion diced
  • 32 ounce ricotta cheese 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • baking pan
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Place the tomatoes, green chiles, jalapenos, onion, garlic, cilantro, and cumin in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the onion is soft, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the chorizo. Cook and stir until the chorizo is crumbly, and evenly browned.
  3. Drain and discard any excess grease.
  4. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir together the ricotta cheese and eggs. Set aside.
  5. To assemble, spread 1/3 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  6. Spread the sausage over the tomato sauce.
  7. Pour 1/2 of the remaining sauce over the sausage and sprinkle 1/2 of the shredded cheese over the top of the sauce. Arrange a layer of noodles lengthwise over the cheese.
  8. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles and place another layer of noodles over the ricotta. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and shredded cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove foil, and bake until the top is browned, about 15 to 30 minutes.
