Pumpkin Lasagne Step by Step

Our Pumpkin Lasagne are perfect for Holidays lunches in the fall and have an imaginative alternative to classic bolognese lasagne, barely a little more time-consuming due to the sauce mixing.

We will not parboil the sheets in this recipe, but instead we will use them raw and thanks to the very hot bechamel that will give them a precooking, that way we reduce the preparation time.

Roasting onion and pumpkin cubes

Start by pinching a drizzle of oil in the pan and the chopped onion. Brown it for about two minutes on a high heat. Then lower the heat, spread the diced pumpkin, a pinch of salt, pepper and blend it hardly. Then cover the pan and continue cooking over medium heat for 5-8 minutes until the pumpkin is soft , stirring occasionally.

Making bechamel

At this moment we began to prepare the bechamel : melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, with the help of a whisk and mix very well .

Making dough

Now add the milk little by little to your blend, continuing to mix, being careful not to form lumps . Add a pinch of salt, some grated nutmeg and bring to the boil.
