Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.

  2. Dice the pumpkin and transfer it to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle it with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until soft (about 20‑25 minutes). Then mix it until you have a smooth puree.

  3. For the bechamel, melt butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the flour and stir until you have a smooth paste. Gradually add in the milk and stir continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

  4. Lower the oven heat to 180°C.

  5. Layer the lasagna in a baking dish. Start with pumpkin puree, then add lasagna sheets, a layer of bechamel and grated mozzarella. Repeat the steps until you use up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25‑30 minutes.
  7. Serve with basil leaves and grated Parmesan.
