How to Make Pumpkin and Ricotta Lasagna Roll Ups

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). The anticipation is half the fun, right?
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. If you’re using oven-ready noodles, just get excited; you can skip this part!
In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, pumpkin puree, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. Just picture that creamy, flavorful filling, yum!
Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Just a thin layer, this helps keeps those noodles from sticking.
Lay a noodle flat, spread a generous amount of the pumpkin and ricotta mixture along the length of the noodle, then roll it up tightly. I usually aim for about 3 tablespoons of filling per noodle.
Place the roll seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this delicious process with the remaining noodles and filling. Seriously, they’ll look beautiful lined up!
Once all the rolls are snugly in the dish, cover them with more marinara sauce and sprinkle with additional mozzarella if you want an extra cheesy topping. Because we all want that gooey goodness, am I right?
Cover with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden. The house is gonna smell amazing at this point!
Lastly, garnish with fresh basil before serving. And voilà! You’ve made a comforting meal that you and your family will adore! Enjoy your delicious pumpkin and ricotta lasagna roll-ups!
