    List of Ingredients




    1-3/4 cups flour
    2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 pinches of salt
    2 eggs
    2 tsp. corn oil
    4 cups ricotta cheese
    6 Tbsp. sugar
    2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier liqueur
    1 Tbsp. grated orange rind
    2 cups whipping cream
    12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped

    Recipe



    In a bowl, stir together flour, cocoa and 1 pinch of salt. Make a well in the center. Add eggs and oil to the well and mix with fork to form dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead dough until smooth and shiny, adding more flour if necessary. Wrap well with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.

    Roll out dough by hand on lightly floured surface. (I use a pasta machine its easy) into thin strips. Cut into eight 4 1/2 by 11 inch strips.

    Bring salted water to a boil. Add 2 strips at a time cook just 20 seconds. After water returns to boil remove. Drain in colander with cold water over pasta. Cook only 2 strips at a time.

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream, sugar, Grand Marnier, and another pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.

    Preheat oven to 450º. Grease 9x 13 inch baking dish.

    Form layer with 2 noodles in bottom of dish. Top with one fourth of cheese filling and then one-thirds of chocolate. Repeat layers with ending with cheese filling.

    Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving
