Chile Time

The End of the Season

The Truck Farm - Thursday, October 06, 2011

 

Green Chile season is coming to an end soon, and while red chile will still be coming out of the fields for some time, the smell of the roasting of green chile wafting through the valley is a thing of the past and of the future.  In honor of the passing of the season, here is a recipe off of our recipe page that has a unique (and tasty) use for green chile.

 

Green Chile Lasagna

1 lb. Italian Sausage, crumbled
2 cloves garlic, diced
1/4 onion, diced
1/4 cup white wine
1 - 16 oz. container of Ricotta cheese

1 - 16 oz. container of Asiago cheese
1 - 1/2 lb block of Fontina cheese, grated
1 package of lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 - 16 oz. jar commercially prepared Alfredo Sauce
1 - 16 oz. jar
Cannon's Just Plain Green Chile (mild, medium, or hot)
1- 9 x 13 baking dish, lightly greased.
