Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Spatula
  • Spoon
  • Food processor (fitted with the S blade)
  • Lasagna dish / Oven dish
  • frying pan or wok
  • 1 flat baking tray

Ingredients
  

  • 450 grams Spinach
  • 400 grams Roasted pumpkin (Roast the pumpkin at 220 degrees celcius, about 20 minutes, until soft)
  • 200 grams (Pecorino) Cheese (Grated)
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1½ tspn Italian seasoning (a dried herb blend which includes oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, marjoram)
  • 250 grams Lasagna sheets (I used fresh)
  • splash (Oat) milk
  • Salt to taste (I used about ½ tspn total)

Instructions
 

  • If you don't already have roasted pumpkin on hand, roast your pumpkin first. Cut it up, lay it out on a baking tray, and roast at 220 degrees celsius for about 20 minutes, until soft
  • Put the roasted pumpkin into the food processor with salt to taste, a splash of (oat) milk and the Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth
  • Transfer the pumpkin puree to a bowl or container and add a big handful of grated (pecorino) cheese and stir that through. Set aside
  • Cut the onion and garlic into pieces, drizzle some olive oil into a pan or wok and cook until it starts to get a little colour. Put that in the same food processor you just made the pumpkin puree in
  • cook the spinach in a frying pan in batches until every leaf has wilted down. Add to the food processor with the onion and garlic, and blend into a puree
  • Add salt to taste and a splash of (oat) milk if needed
  • Assemble the lasagna by alternating layers of the 2 purees & the lasagna sheets. Create layer after layer until everything is used, ending with a layer of pumpkin puree
  • Top that with a layer of (pecorino) cheese and bake in the oven at 200 degrees celsius for about 40 minutes, or according to the instructions of the packet of lasagna sheets you have on hand
  • Serve as is or with a fresh salad on the side. Enjoy!
