Pumpkin and Vegetable Lasagna

This Pumpkin and Vegetable Lasagna is a delicious, healthy fall dinner! It’s packed with veggies and layered with ricotta cheese for the ultimate comfort meal!

We are suckers for all things pumpkin in this house and so we jazzed up our regular vegetable lasagna with the addition of this seasonal fruit! It feels a bit weird to call pumpkin a fruit in this case cause its serving as a savoury ingredient but, that’s what it is! And boy does it shine in this meal!

There are so many pumpkin recipes on my blog and its barely a year old! Clearly, I’ve got a bit of a problem here! I can’t help myself though. Its such a wonderfully delicious ingredient, I just can’t get enough of it when fall rolls around.

This pumpkin recipe is a popular one in our house. I mean, not only do we get to enjoy the pumpkin, but its a pasta dish too, so double win!! Lots of veggies and creamy ricotta make it extra yummy and healthy too. Gotta love a pasta dish that (you can still convince yourself) is pretty darn healthy!

This ultra creamy, veggie packed meal is so comforting and delicious, you may want to double this recipe and freeze some for future use!
