While veggies are cooking, prepare the tomato cream sauce by melting the butter in a pot over medium heat. Gradually add the flour, stirring frequently so no lumps occur. Once all flour is in, continue whisking for 3-5 until mixture is medium blonde color. Slowly stir in all warm milk while continuing to whisk so mixture is smooth. Reduce heat to low and season sauce with nutmeg. Add the jar of marina sauce and stir to combine.

Scoop ricotta cheese into bowl, and add the parsley, lemon zest, shot of EVVO, S&P to taste and stir together.

Spread enough of the tomato cream sauce to lightly cover the bottom of a large casserole dish. Form a bottom layer with the pasta sheets. Scoop half of the ricotta mixture evenly across the sheets. Scoop half the veggie mixture across the ricotta layer then grate pecorino cheese over the entire layer. Scoop enough tomato cream sauce to cover first level, cover with pasta sheets and repeat same process with ricotta, veggie, pecorino. For final layer, place pasta sheets down, and cover with a healthy amount of tomato cream sauce and pecorino. Make sure there are no dry spots of the noodle will burn.
