CREAMY PUMPKIN LASAGNA ROLLS



Creamy Pumpkin Lasagna Rolls image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons flour
4 cups milk, at room temperature
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
12 ounces bacon, diced
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (1 small orange)
12 lasagna noodles, such as De Cecco
12 fried sage leaves (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the butter to melt. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Slowly add the milk, about 1 cup at a time, whisking between additions until smooth. Add the garlic and reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the nutmeg and 2 teaspoons salt. Remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce to a bowl and set aside. Whisk in the pumpkin puree to the first batch of sauce and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place the bacon in a medium skillet set over medium heat. Cook the bacon, stirring often, until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bacon to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon, then stir in the mozzarella, ricotta, the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan, the red pepper flakes, orange zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat the broiler to high. Place one oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and another in the top third.
  • Ladle 1 1/2 cups of the pumpkin sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and reserve the remaining for a later use.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch the pasta sheets according to the par-cook method of package instructions, about 4 minutes. Remove the pasta from the water using tongs and lay out on a baking sheet to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, start assembling the rolls. Working with a pasta sheet vertical to you, place a small amount of the ricotta mixture on the end of a pasta sheet closest to you. Using a small spoon, spread the mixture evenly about halfway down the noodle. Roll the pasta around the filling, finishing with the end farthest from you. Lay the roll in the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat for the remaining filling and pasta. You should end up with two rows of 6 rolls. Use the two sauces to make stripes on the pasta. Ladle one-third of the pumpkin sauce along the side of the pan covering about half of a row of rolls. Right next to it, ladle half of the white sauce, covering another half of a row of rolls. Repeat with the remaining pumpkin and white sauces, finishing with pumpkin (5 rows of sauce altogether).
  • Place the pan in the lower third of the oven and broil to warm through, 15 minutes. Move the pan to the top third of the oven and broil until the top begins to brown and the sauce is bubbling, 4 minutes. Garnish each roll with a fried sage leaf to serve.

GRANDMA'S BEST EVER SOUR CREAM LASAGNA



Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna image

This is my grandma's famous recipe, except that I use sour cream instead of the traditional cheeses (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthday dinners and special occasions. This makes a large amount. I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy - sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce. Enjoy!

  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. This will help prevent the lasagna from sticking.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cooked vegetables, meats, or cheeses to the filling.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
