Preparation time: less than 30 mins
Cooking time: less than 1 hour
Serves 4
Ingredients:
90ml/3fl oz extra virgin olive oil
1kg/2lb 3oz pumpkin, peeled, seeds removed, cubed
paprika, to taste
freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper
250g/9oz fresh ricotta cheese
250g/8¾oz green lasagne pasta sheets
25g/1oz grated parmesan cheese
For the béchamel sauce
55g/2oz butter
55g/2oz plain flour
350ml/10½fl oz milk
Preparation method
1 Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

4 Melt the butter in a small saucepan without letting it brown. Add the flour little by little, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
5 When the flour has evenly absorbed the butter, add the 350ml/10½fl oz milk a little at a time, strirring constantly to make a smooth, thick and creamy sauce. Season.
6 Arrange a layer of lasagne pasta sheets in the bottom of a large ovenproof dish. Spoon over the pumpkin mixture and spread some of the béchamel sauce . Lay more pasta sheets over the top, followed by the béchamel sauce on top. Bake for twenty minutes in the preheated oven, remove from the oven, sprinkle with parmesan and place back in the oven for a few minutes - take care not to burn the pasta or the cheese on top.
