Pumpkin Lasagne
We have been loving all our pasta dishes of late with Chef Sophie Budd, but this one was a late night light bulb moment (when I get most of the good ideas on this site!) We had made some spinach pasta (egg free as well) and so I was thinking about other veggies that would work in a similar way. One of our favourites is pumpkin or squash if you are from USA. So here tis. Then made into the most delicious buttery, cheesey lasagne that would make any vegetarian swoon. It makes you feel loved and comforted to eat a big plate of this.
I promise. Enjoy.
