Pumpkin lasagna vegetarian and delicious
As a long-time cook and lover of good food, I have tasted and prepared many delicious dishes over the years. But this pumpkin lasagna is something very special. The warm, earthy flavor of the pumpkin along with the creamy cheese and rich spices creates a true taste sensation. I've made this recipe many times for friends and family and it's always been a hit. That's why I'm sharing it with you now with great pleasure.

Directions
For the pumpkin lasagna recipe, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Peel the pumpkin and cut into cubes. Don't forget to remove the seeds. I have found that a good vegetable peeler is best for this job.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the pumpkin and roast until soft. From experience I know that the pieces of pumpkin should not be too large, otherwise they will not cook well.
Stir in the strained tomatoes, salt, pepper and oregano. Mix everything well and simmer over low heat.
Place the pumpkin mixture in a baking dish, top with a layer of lasagna sheets and add ricotta cheese. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of cheese.
Finally, sprinkle the pumpkin lasagna with mozzarella and Parmesan and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. These wonderful roasted flavors come out especially well when the surface of the lasagna is lightly browned.
Remove the Vegetarian Pumpkin Lasagna From the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving - this gives the lasagna time to set and makes it easier to cut. Sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
