Recipe Box, Pumpkin Sausage Lasagna

the Painted Apron

2 years ago

that was a big hit with my grandsons

so I decided to try a lasagna version

Sausage, ricotta, and Mozzarella cheese are layered

with lasagna noodles and covered with pumpkin Alfredo sauce

All you have to do is brown the sausage

Then cook the pumpkin with the Alfredo sauce,

over low heat, stirring to combine

I used a four cheese Alfredo sauce

and a roasted garlic Alfredo sauce so

additional seasonings wasn’t needed

Put 1/3 of this sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish

Cover with no bake lasagna noodles, breaking to fit

Put 1/2 of the sausage evenly on noodles

and add 1/2 of the ricotta cheese in small spoonfuls

Top with 1/3 of the Mozzarella cheese

Repeat layers and then top with another layer of noodles

Cover with remaining 1/3 sauce

Top with the Parmesan cheese and remaining Mozzarella

Cover baking dish and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours

Bake covered for 25 minutes,

then uncover and continue to bake for 25 more minutes

or until hot and bubbling, and

Serve it up!

Note: You can also add sauteed baby spinach and/or mushrooms if desired
