Steps for Lasagna with Pumpkin and Cheese
For this dish, start by preparing the béchamel sauce, you can find the recipe Here. You can also buy it ready-made at the supermarket. Then cook the pumpkin, remove the skin and seeds inside, then cut it into not too large cubes.
In a saucepan, pour a drizzle of oil, thinly slice the onion and let it soften, now add the pumpkin cubes and let them brown for a few seconds. Pour a glass of water, a pinch of salt and let it cook over moderate heat until the pumpkin is cooked through.
Remove from heat and with an immersion blender, turn the pumpkin into a puree.
Combine the pumpkin puree with the béchamel sauce and start layering the lasagna. In a baking dish, spread a little of the puree (pumpkin puree and béchamel) on the bottom, cover with a layer of lasagna, and more puree on top. On each layer of pasta, add Parmesan, diced mozzarella, and scamorza. Cover with more pasta. Continue like this until all the ingredients are used up.
The last layer should be pasta covered with sauce and plenty of Parmesan. Small pats of butter scattered here and there.
Bake at 356°F (180°C) and let it cook for about 25/30 minutes, always adjust according to your oven, the lasagna will be ready when a golden crust forms. Remove from oven, let it set for a few minutes, and then serve at the table.
