In a mixing bowl, add fresh ricotta cheese and break it up a bit.

Crack 3 eggs into the ricotta and mix well.

Sprinkle in some pecorino cheese and mix until combined.

Add a little tomato sauce to the cheese mixture, about 1/2 spoon, and mix well.

Chop fresh parsley and add it to the cheese mixture along with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then mix again.

Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Layer the noodles over the sauce, then add the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles.
