Steps
Let’s prepare the sauce
In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and brown the sausage.
Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds and fibrous pulp inside.
Cut it into uniformly sized cubes. This way, it will cook evenly.Put the pumpkin in a pot and cover it with water.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 10/15 minutes, until the pulp is soft.
Drain it and let it cool, then blend it and transfer it to a glass bowl.
Add the béchamel and mix until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I freeze the lasagna?
Of course. You can prepare the tray and freeze them raw so you have them available at any time.
How do I cook frozen lasagna?
I recommend taking them out of the freezer and thawing them (even better if in the fridge) before normal cooking as indicated in the recipe.
