- 32 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste

- 1 recipe Poblano Pesto
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix the ricotta, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

- Brush the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a little extra-virgin olive oil and spread 1 cup of the Chipotle-Tomato Sauce over the bottom of the dish.
- Place three of the noodles over the sauce, leaving a little space between them.
- Spread 1 cup of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
- Repeat with sauce, noodles and ricotta twice more, ending with noodles and sauce.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake on the middle shelf for 40 to 45 minutes.

- Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until golden and bubbly.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let the lasagne stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
- Cut into 12 equal portions.
- To serve, warm the remaining Chipotle-Tomato Sauce and ladle 4 tablespoons onto each dinner plate, spreading it out to cover the center.
- Place a portion of the lasagne in the middle of the plate and garnish with a spoonful of Poblano Pesto.
