pumpkin & ricotta lasagna

In a previous entry, Jaime asked me to post the recipe for pumpkin and ricotta lasagna, so I thought I would post it now Smile

It's fairly simple. I usually have a bit of a cook up and make DF's meat lasagna at the same time, so then I can freeze a couple of portions.

Ingredients:
1/2 kent pumpkin, peeled, cut in 1cm thin slices.
fresh or boxed lasagna
2 cans tinned tomatoes or 1L tomato passata (strained tomato)
400g fresh ricotta
1 large zucchini, cut in 1cm thick strips
1 capsicum, cut in quarters
olive oil
chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
fresh basil
300g grated cheese

Bake the pumpkin, zucchini and capscium in a tray covered with foil for around 20minutes at 220C. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onion. Once browned add the tomato and basil. Simmer.

Layer in a baking dish strips of lasagna, pumpkin, capsicum & zucchini with crumbled ricotta, topped with tomato and a sprinkle of cheese, until all the mixtures have been used up. Sprinkle the top with more basil and cheese and bake at 180C for around 30-40 minutes. Sometimes it helps to cover with foil for the first 25 minutes, otherwise it might brown too quickly on the top.

    Anything with fresh basil in it is usually delicious! Capsicum is eggplant right?
