Ingredients

• 12 sheets lasagna noodles
• 3 cups pumpkin purée
• 16 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the chopped sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, nutmeg, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. Set aside.

Step 7

Spread 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the pumpkin. Spread 1/3 of the remaining pumpkin mixture over the noodles. Add 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, followed by 1/3 of the sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layers two more times, ending with mozzarella and the remaining grated parmesan cheese on top.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
