Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C.

Step 2

Steam the pumpkin in a vegetable steamer or in the microwave using a minimal amount of water. Roughly mash when tender. Do not drain as the liquid will help the pasta sheets cook.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, parmesan, spring onions, spinach, salt and pepper, and stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Grease a casserole dish or deep baking tray and place a layer of lasagne sheets on the base. Spoon over a layer of the cheese mixture, then a layer of mashed pumpkin, smoothing each layer.

Step 5

Top with more lasagne sheets and then repeat the process until all mixture is used up, ending with a layer of lasagne sheets on top.

Step 6

Pour pasta sauce over the top of the final layer of pasta sheets. Spread evenly over the top and then sprinkle with grated cheese.

Step 7

Bake at 180C for 45-50 minutes, or until pasta is cooked. Stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
