1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

Cook the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, egg, chopped sage, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.
Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread half of the pumpkin filling over the noodles. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Repeat Layers: Add another layer of noodles, followed by the remaining pumpkin filling and more mozzarella. Top with the final layer of noodles and cover with marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional sage if desired.
