Pumpkin Lasagna Roll-Ups
Pumpkin Lasagna Roll-Ups
Ingredients
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more for the noodles
18 lasagna noodles
1 tbsp. salted butter
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
3 c. whole milk
Black pepper, to taste
1 1/3 c. grated parmesan cheese
Pinch of grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 c. pure pumpkin puree
1 16-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese
4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/2
pounds)
1 large egg, beaten
2 tsp. chopped fresh sage, plus more for topping
Directions
1Preheat the oven to 375˚. Bring a large pot of salted
water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al
dente. Drain, rinse under cold water until cool and lay flat on a
large sheet of foil.
2Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until sandy, 1 minute. Slowly pour in
the milk, whisking constantly. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a
few grinds of pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, whisking
occasionally, and cook until the sauce thickens a little, about 10
minutes. Whisk in 1/3 cup parmesan, the nutmeg and cayenne until melted.
3Add 1 cup pumpkin puree to the sauce and whisk until
smooth. Set aside.
4For the filling: Combine the ricotta, 2 cups
mozzarella, ¾ cup parmesan, the remaining ½ cup pumpkin, the
egg, sage, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl
and stir to combine.
5To assemble, spread ½ cup of sauce in a 9 x 13-inch
baking dish. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ricotta filling on
each noodle, then roll up to enclose the filling. Arrange seam-side
down in the pan.
6Top with the remaining sauce, 2 cups mozzarella and ¼
cup parmesan. Sprinkle with sage. Loosely cover with foil. Bake for
15 minutes, then uncover and bake until bubbly, about 10 more
minutes. Let it sit for 15 minutes before serving.
