This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

ingredients
Pasta
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour*
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
2 extra large eggs
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Filling
4 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
2 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 pinch salt
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
directions
Combine the flour, cocoa, and salt in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and oil in the center of the well and mix with a fork to form the dough.
Knead the dough for 15 minutes until it is smooth and shiny, adding more flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Wrap well with plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour.
Roll the pasta out by hand or with a machine and cut into eight 4-1/2 x 11 inch strips. Cook two strips at a time in boiling salted water.
Cook just 20 seconds after the chocolate returns to a boil. Plunge the noodles into cold water to stop the cooking. When cooled, place towels in a single layer to drain.
Combine all filling ingredients and mix until smooth.
To assemble: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Generously butter an 8 x 11 x 2-inch pan. Alternate layers of noodles cheese filling and chocolate, ending with a cheese layer. Bake for 20 minutes until the top is lightly colored (20 to 25 minutes).
Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes to solidify, then serve warm.

I never had the chocolate lasagna at olive garden but this is really good. The chocolate pasta is a lot of work I agree but it's pretty amazing.

not a bad dish. not really worth the amount of effort it takes. and it is no where near the taste of perfection required to be called olive gardens chocolate lasagna. has a pretty strong orange flavor to it. and the texture is definitely not a match.
