Pumpkin Lasagna Rolls

Combining layers of lasagna noodles, ricotta and toasty spices with the creamy, mild sweet taste of pumpkin, pumpkin lasagna rolls are the best comfort food for fall. Perfect for a small meal or holiday party, this dish offers classic lasagna a seasonal twist. Rich in flavours like sage, garlic, and a trace of nutmeg, these rolls meld wonderfully with cheeses and pumpkin puree. Not only are they great, but they also create an amazing meal that is simple to produce. Here is how to create delicious savoury Pumpkin Lasagna Rolls.

Ingredients for this dish call both some fall-inspired items and some pantry basics:

  • Eight lasagna noodles cooked per package directions
  • One half cup of pure pumpkin, handmade or canned
  • One cup ricotta cheese will provide creaminess.
  • One cup shredded mozzarella cheese—plus more for top garnish.
  • One fourth cup of grated food Parmesan cheese develops a savoury taste.
  • One egg binds the filling together.
  • Two minced garlic cloves, for depth of taste
  • One fourth teaspoon nutmeg balances the pumpkin.
  • For an earthy, autumn taste, one teaspoon dried sage (or fresh chopped sage).
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • One cup marinara sauce provides the meal with a harmonic acidity.
  • Fresh parsley as a garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: get the noodles ready.

Start by preparing the lasagna noodles according package guidelines. Cook them until al dente; they will cook more in the oven. To stop cooking, drain and rinse them under cold water; then, lay them flat on parchment paper to stop them from sticking.

Step 2: create the pumpkin filling.

Combine in a mixing bowl the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, the egg, minced garlic, nutmeg, sage, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until thoroughly blended. The end effect is a savoury, creamy filling that accentuates pumpkin’s earthy tastes.

Step 3: roll the lasagna.

Set your oven for 375°F (190°C). At the bottom of a baking dish (9×13-inch works nicely), thinly layer marinara sauce. After each cooked lasagna noodle has been rubbed dry if necessary, cover with a layer of the pumpkin filling leaving roughly an inch at one end for rolling.

Roll each noodle gently from one end to the other to produce a spiral roll loaded with the pumpkin mixture. Arange each roll, seam side down, in the ready baking dish.

Step 4: is top with cheese and marinara.

Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over every roll when they are all in the plate. For that melty, gooey cheese layer, scatter the remaining shredded mozzarella on top. As it bakes, this last layer of cheese will brown exquisitely and provide a wonderful texture.

Step 5: Bake.

After foil covers the dish, bake for twenty minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the cover after 20 minutes; bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and just slightly golden brown.

Step 6: Present and garnish

Bake; then, let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. For a burst of colour and freshness, toss in fresh parsley. Present hot either as a main course or alongside a green salad and garlicky toast.

Advice for Perfect Pumpkin Lasagna Rolls Noodle Preparation On the parchment paper, dab some olive oil to help the noodles stay from sticking.
Add additional nutmeg or perhaps a bit of cinnamon to have a more strong pumpkin taste.
Make It vegan: Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed plus 3 tablespoons water) and use dairy-free cheese substitutes for ricotta and mozzarella.
Add prepared ground turkey or Italian sausage to the marinara sauce layer for a heartier dinner.
