Roasted Pumpkin Lasagna Boats | with vegan option

This post is also available in german/deutsch.Our new real comfort food. These roasted pumpkin lasagna boats are the hit. The recipe is now often on the table. We like to fill the pumpkins with lentil or tofu bolognese.

Choose the right pumpkin
Which pumpkin is suitable for the recipe? Best to choose as small pumpkins as possible.
Well suited varieties are:
Hokkaido, here you can eat the bowl which is convenient.
Patisson, a typical oven pumpkin.
Sweet Dumpling, this variety we have taken.
Bischofsmütze are also great for filling
or spaghetti squash.

For most pumpkins, it is advisable to cook something in the oven first. As a result, they soften faster later. To reduce the working time, you can do that at the same time when the bolognese is simmering.

Remember, depending on the pumpkin variety, the actual baking time can vary!Roasted Pumpkin Lasagna Boats
