This Pumpkin lasagna is easy to make and filled with all the great flavors of fall. Stuffed with cheese, spinach, pumpkin, chicken sausage and creamy alfredo.
Fall is here and I’m in my pumpkin diet mode. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, pumpkin bread and those pumpkin marshmallows they sell next to the candy corn. What are they? I don’t want to know. Gosh, I love them. I just really love pumpkin.
And there’s evidence of all the pumpkin love here on my blog, you can find recipes for Pumpkin Milkshakes, Pumpkin Monkey Bread and Pumpkin Waffles. I even have a Halloween Trail Mix recipe using those candy pumpkins.
I’ve been making squash lasagna for years and I thought a pumpkin lasagna would be perfect for fall.
I’ve been working on this recipe to get it to the right sauce level. I noted in the recipe, I really like a saucy lasagna. If you want less sauce, just decrease or eliminate the second jar of alfredo. I really like adding cooked chicken apple sausage to the pumpkin lasagna, but you leave it out if you want to make it vegetarian or save on the cost of the meal.
