A cozy and indulgent fall dinner featuring layers of lasagna noodles, pumpkin Alfredo sauce, gooey cheese, and spinach for the ultimate comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (plain, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen, excess moisture removed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Whisk in the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, and nutmeg. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese and spinach. If using frozen spinach, squeeze out excess moisture before mixing.
  6. If not using oven-ready lasagna noodles, boil them according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  7. Spread a thin layer of pumpkin Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  8. Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles, followed by more sauce, a layer of the ricotta-spinach mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella cheese.
  9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  11. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

[‘Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting to help the layers hold together.’, ‘Squeeze out excess moisture from spinach to avoid soggy layers.’, ‘Season the Alfredo sauce generously to balance the sweetness of the pumpkin.’, ‘Spread each layer evenly for consistent flavor throughout the dish.’, ‘Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor.’]
