Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 cups medium-diced pumpkin or winter squash
Unrefined coconut oil
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 medium onion, small diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 1/2 pounds Swiss chard, stemmed, leaves chopped (16 cups packed)
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups full-fat ricotta
2 eggs, whisked
2 cups grated Gruyere
2 cups grated Parmesan
9 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles, such as Barilla
4 ounces pesto, store-bought or homemade, recipe follows
6 cloves roasted garlic
1/2 cup toasted pecans
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 cups basil leaves
2/3 cup grated aged Gouda
Kosher salt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the pumpkin to a large bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and then spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to a Dutch oven over medium heat, and allow to melt. Add the onions and saute until tender, 3 minutes. Add the garlic and Swiss chard, and saute until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the poultry seasoning and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Add the cream cheese and milk to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the cream cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon of the cayenne, and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, eggs, 1 1/2 cups each of the Gruyere and Parmesan, and some salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then set aside.
  • Ladle 1/2 cup of the cream cheese sauce into a 9-by-13-inch flameproof baking dish, spreading with a spatula to cover the bottom. Add a single layer of noodles, and then layer with half of the remaining cream cheese sauce, half of the chard mixture and half of the pumpkin. Add a second layer of noodles, and then half of the ricotta mixture and all of the pesto. Add a third layer of noodles, followed by the remaining cream cheese sauce, chard and pumpkin. Add a fourth, and final, layer of noodles, and spread with the remaining ricotta mixture.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and transfer to the oven. Bake until the noodles are soft and the cheese is hot and melty, 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and turn on the broiler. Remove the foil from the baking dish. Top the lasagna with the remaining grated Gruyere and Parmesan. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Add the garlic and pecans to a food processor, and pulse to a thick paste. Add the lemon zest, basil, Gouda and 1 teaspoon salt, and pulse to chop up the basil leaves; this will be very thick. With the motor running, drizzle in 2/3 cup of the olive oil; if you want the sauce thinner, add the remaining oil. Add the lemon juice, and pulse to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 week.

BOXING DAY FESTIVE ROAST PUMPKIN AND CHEESE LASAGNE - LASAGNA



Boxing Day Festive Roast Pumpkin and Cheese Lasagne - Lasagna image

Roasted pumpkin and creamy cheese lasagne (lasagna); a Boxing Day special - although I have made this for Christmas Eve too! This is a wonderful addition to the festive vegetarian table, but is ALSO hugely popular with meat eaters. This is my adapted version of Nigella Lawson's pumpkin lasagne; I have changed a few of the methods and added (as well as omitted) a few ingredients! Boxing day is the day after Christmas day, also called St Stephen's Day - the 26th December; it is a public holiday in the UK and most Commonwealth countries..........generally a turkey curry day, or a turkey-free day, one of the two! Serve this with a large bowl of salad and some crusty bread for mopping up the delicious sauce.

Time 2h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 tablespoons olive oil
30 g unsalted butter
8 sage leaves
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 1/4 kg pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and cut into 3cm rough cubes
5 ml vermouth or 5 ml white wine
60 ml water
1 (400 g) can chopped tomatoes
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes
500 ml water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon sea salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
good grinding pepper
225 g soft fresh goat's cheese
225 g cream cheese with garlic and herbs
250 g grated cheddar cheese
500 g ricotta cheese
3 large organic eggs
good grating fresh nutmeg
2 (300 g) packets fresh lasagna sheets, 600g total
2 balls mozzarella cheese
125 g pine nuts, toasted
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/400F/gas 6, slipping in a baking sheet as you do.
  • To make the pumpkin filling: heat the oil and butter in a shallow casserole dish or roasting tin and fry the sage leaves over a gentle heat for about 2 minutes. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and fry very gently for another 10 minutes or so. Add the pumpkin pieces, turn well in the oniony oil and then add the vermouth (or wine), the water and chopped tomatoes. Roast in a pre-heated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning - I tend to add quite a bit of salt here - and leave to cool.
  • For the tomato sauce: simply pour the chopped tomatoes and water into a large jug or bowl, and stir in the sugar, salt and pepper, whisking it all together.
  • To make up the cheese layer: in a separate bowl beat the goat's cheese, cream cheese, Cheddar and ricotta with the eggs, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble the lasagne, begin by putting 500ml of the cold tomato sauce in the bottom of a roasting tin (measuring approx 36cm x 26cm x 6cm). Then layer with a third of the lasagne sheets, overlapping them well. Leave the rest of the tomato sauce aside for the time being.
  • Layer a third of the pumpkin filling over the lasagne, and dollop on a third of the cheese mixture, coaxing with a rubber spatula. It won't cover completely; think more of spreading blobs about. Then start again with a layer of lasagne, followed by pumpkin, then the cheese. Repeat once more - lasagne, pumpkin, and the last of the cheese mixture. Pour the remaining cold tomato sauce over, letting it sink down and be absorbed in the layers. Slice and chop the mozzarella balls and dot over the top.
  • Cook in the oven, on the baking sheet, for 1 hour. Once cooked, take out of the oven and let it stand for 15-30 minutes to make cutting and serving easier. (I love this when it's been standing for an hour or so, too.) As you cut and slice, you will notice a shallow tomatoey cheesy pool at the bottom of the tin; bread dunked into this is gorgeous.
  • Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the lasagne, and cut into squares to serve.
  • MAKE AHEAD TIP Up to 2 days ahead, make the pumpkin filling, leave to cool and keep, covered, in the fridge. Make the cheese layer and keep, covered, in the fridge. When ready to use, assemble the lasagne and cook as directed.
  • FREEZE AHEAD TIP Cook, cool and freeze the cooked pumpkin for up to 1 week. Thaw overnight in the fridge. When ready to use, assemble the lasagne and cook as directed.

ROAST PUMPKIN & SPINACH LASAGNE



Roast pumpkin & spinach lasagne image

Nothing is as comforting as a rich creamy lasagne and the sweet, earthy flavours of this veggie classic are well worth the effort

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

750g Crown Prince pumpkin or butternut squash
2 tbsp olive oil
500g spinach, washed
1 tbsp butter, plus extra for greasing
whole nutmeg, for grating
6 fresh lasagne sheets
100g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), freshly grated
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 celery stick, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
400g can cherry tomato
2 tsp light muscovado sugar
500ml full-fat milk
6 peppercorns
½ onion
1 bay leaf
50g plain flour
50g butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve the pumpkin or squash, peel, deseed, then slice into 1cm slices. Toss with the oil in a roasting tin, season, then roast until tender and slightly charred at the edges. This can take up to 40 mins.
  • Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. In a pan, soften the onion in the oil for 5 mins, then add the celery and garlic and cook for 1 min more. Add the tomatoes and sugar, then leave to simmer, uncovered, for 30 mins. Stir from time to time. You should be left with a thick purée. Season to taste.
  • Put the spinach in a saucepan with the water that still clings to it after washing, cover and put over a medium heat. Wilt the spinach for about 4 mins - you'll need to turn it over with tongs every so often to make sure it all comes in contact with the heat at the bottom of the pan. When completely wilted, leave until cool enough to handle, then squeeze the water out with your hands. Chop and put in a pan with the butter. Gently heat, tossing together so the spinach is coated in butter, then season with salt, pepper and a generous grating of nutmeg.
  • For the béchamel sauce, bring the milk to the boil in a pan with the peppercorns, onion and bay leaf. Set aside for 5 mins to infuse, then strain the milk into another pan. Add the flour and butter, then gently heat, whisking all the while, until you have a thick, smooth sauce.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and assemble the lasagne. Butter a large gratin or baking dish, roughly 1.4 litres in capacity. Put a layer of pumpkin in the bottom followed by a layer of tomato sauce. Lay lasagne sheets on top of this, cutting them to fit if necessary (you don't want any overlapping). Now add a layer of béchamel followed by a scattering of spinach and half the cheese. Top with more lasagne sheets, pumpkin, tomato sauce, more lasagne and a final layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake for 40 mins, or until the lasagne is golden and bubbling.

ROAST PUMPKIN



Roast pumpkin image

We've all heard of roasting pumpkin seeds -- now you can roast the pumpkin too! Makes a colourful and tasty side dish for a number of meals, but I especially like it with chicken or fish. Feel free to try different spices or just use salt and pepper for a more simple but equally good version.

Provided by Sackville

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups pumpkin, cut into chunks
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
1 chili pepper, deseeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place oil, chilli, chilli powder and garlic into a bowl and mix into a paste.
  • Add the pumpkin to the bowl and mix until all the chunks are well coated.
  • Spread the pumpkin out on a non-stick baking sheet (or just cover your tray with tin foil).
  • Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and then bake in a preheated 200 C or 400 F oven for 60 minutes or until tender. The pumpkin may be cooked before the hour is up, but keeping it in the oven and turning occasionally will help it to become nice and crispy.
