PUMPKING & GOAT CHEESE LASAGNE
Steps:
- To make the pumpkin filling: 1. Heat oil and butter in a shallow Dutch oven or cast-iron braiser and fry sage leaves over gentle heat for about 2 minutes. 2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to pan and fry very gently for another 10 minutes. 3. Add pumpkin pieces, turn well in the oniony oil and, after about 5 minutes, add vermouth (or wine), water and diced tomatoes. Simmer, covered, for an hour, stirring occasionally so the pumpkin cooks evenly. Taste for seasoning and leave to cool. For the tomato sauce: 1. Simply pour the tomato sauce 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: 1. In a separate bowl beat the goat's cheese and ricotta with the eggs, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. 2. Preheat the oven to 400°F, slipping in a large cookie sheet as you do. 3. To assemble the lasagne, begin by putting 2 cups of the cold tomato sauce in the bottom of a roasting pan 4. Then layer with a third of the lasagne sheets, overlapping them well (Italians do it with the pan horizontal but the pasta vertical, if that makes sense, but I don't know that it truly matters ). Leave the rest of the tomato sauce aside for the time being. 5. Layer a third of the pumpkin filling over the lasagne, and dollop on a third of the cheese mixture, with a rubber spatula. 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. 6. Pour the remaining cold tomato sauce over, letting it sink down and be absorbed in the layers. 7. Slice and chop the mozzarella and dot over the top. 8. Bake in the oven, on the cookies sheet, for 1 hour. Once baked, take it out of the oven and let it stand for 15-30 minutes to make cutting and serving easier. 9. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the lasagne, and cut into squares to serve.

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.

Steps:
- Prepare the lasagna noodles: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and fill a large mixing bowl with ice and water. Boil the noodles until al dente, tender but still very chewy, about 8 minutes. Drain them and immediately transfer to the bowl of ice water.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet with some olive oil. Drain the noodles from the ice water and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet, not overlapping. Set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, start the Bechamel Sauce: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stirring continuously with a wire whisk, sprinkle in the flour; continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Whisking briskly, slowly pour in the milk. Stir in the goat cheese, salt and pinch of nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- To make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, thyme, sage, nutmeg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, mascarpone, 1/4 cup Parmesan, brown sugar, goat cheese, salt and pepper. Stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- For the Lasagna Assembly: Lightly coat the inside of a 13-by-9-by-3-inch lasagna pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread a third of the pumpkin mixture on the bottom of the pan. Cover with a layer of lasagna noodles, placed lengthwise side by side. Spread another third of the filling over the noodles, and top with 3/4 cup of Bechamel. Top with another layer of pasta, the remaining filling, and another 3/4 cup of Bechamel. Cover with a final layer of noodles and all the remaining Bechamel. Evenly sprinkle with the 1/2 cup each of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
- Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with nonstick spray and place it sprayed side down over the lasagna pan, folding the edges over.
- Bake until the lasagna is heated through and bubbling, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the lasagna settle for 10 minutes. With a sharp knife, cut it into rectangles or squares. Use a spatula to transfer them from the pan to serving plates.

- To make the pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
- If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute ricotta cheese or cottage cheese.
- To make the lasagna vegetarian, omit the ground beef and add more roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers.
