Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, beaten egg, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese with the chopped spinach.
  • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the pumpkin mixture, half of the spinach and mozzarella mixture, and a third of the marinara sauce.
  • Repeat the layering: place 3 more noodles, the remaining pumpkin mixture, the remaining spinach and mozzarella mixture, and another third of the marinara sauce.
  • Top with the final 3 lasagna noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can substitute the ricotta cheese with cottage cheese for a lighter option.
