Preparation of Pumpkin, Chestnut, and Gorgonzola Lasagna

Cut the pumpkin into cubes and place it on a baking sheet or baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the béchamel. Heat but do not boil the milk, then pour the flour and butter into a saucepan. Melt the butter and stir with a whisk to blend it with the flour.
Once the butter and flour are well blended, pour in the previously heated milk and continue to stir with the whisk. Let it thicken, remove from heat, and add a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg.
When the pumpkin is cooked, take it out of the oven and mash it into a puree.
Now combine the béchamel with the pumpkin and mix well.
Proceed now with assembling the lasagna.
On the bottom of the baking dish, make a layer of pumpkin béchamel.
Continue with a layer of pasta, a layer of béchamel on which you will put some pieces of gorgonzola, crumbled chestnuts, and a couple of tablespoons of grated Grana Padano.
Continue layering until you finish the ingredients. You should end with a layer of filling, that is béchamel and cheeses.
Add a few pats of butter and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 30/35 minutes.
Once cooked, let it rest, out of the oven, for 5 minutes.
And voilà… now your pumpkin, chestnut, and gorgonzola lasagna is ready to be served.
