  1. ROASTED VEG

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bring a pot of water to the boil with a pinch of salt. Spread the Butternut, carrot pieces, and onion on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. PARBOIL THE PASTA

    Once the water is boiling, add 3-4 lasagne sheets. Cook for 1-2 minutes until al dente and still firm. Remove from the pot and immediately put in a bowl of cold water. Once cooled, drain on a clean tea towel in a single layer; don't pile them up, they will stick together. Repeat with the remaining sheets in batches. Reserve the pasta water.

  3. MAKE IT SAUCY

    Dilute ½ [1]|#7DA0D7 of the stock with 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of the reserved pasta water. Once the veg is finished, transfer ½ of the roasted Butternut, carrot, and onion to a blender with the diluted stock and pulse until smooth.

  4. CREAMY & CHEESY

    Place the ricotta into a bowl and whisk it together with the milk, the oregano, 1 egg yolk and ½ of the cheese. Season and set aside.

  5. ASSEMBLE

    Place a ¼ of the Butternut sauce in the bottom of a small, deep ovenproof dish. Evenly top with ⅓ of the remaining butternut, ⅓ of the lasagne sheets, ⅓ of the ricotta mix, and another ¼ of the sauce. Repeat with the remaining butternut, lasagne sheets, ricotta mix, and sauce to create two more layers. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven until the lasagne is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown, 10-12 minutes.

  6. TOASTED SEEDS

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  7. A LOVELY LASAGNE

    Serve up a generous helping of the Butternut and ricotta lasagne. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds. Dig in, Chef!

How do I prepare Spiced Butternut Lasagne?

A LOVELY LASAGNE: Serve up a generous helping of the butternut and ricotta lasagne. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds. Dig in, Chef! TOASTED SEEDS: Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. ASSEMBLE: Place a ¼ of the butternut sauce in the bottom of a small, deep ovenproof dish. Evenly top with ⅓ of the remaining butternut, ⅓ of the lasagne sheets, ⅓ of the ricotta mix, and another ¼ of the sauce. Repeat with the remaining butternut, lasagne sheets, ricotta mix, and sauce to create two more layers. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven until the lasagne is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown, 10-12 minutes. CREAMY & CHEESY: Place the ricotta into a bowl and whisk it together with the milk, the oregano, 1 egg yolk and ½ of the cheese. Season and set aside. MAKE IT SAUCY: Dilute ½ [1]|#7DA0D7 of the stock with 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of the reserved pasta water. Once the veg is finished, transfer ½ of the roasted butternut, carrot, and onion to a blender with the diluted stock and pulse until smooth. PARBOIL THE PASTA: Once the water is boiling, add 3-4 lasagne sheets. Cook for 1-2 minutes until al dente and still firm. Remove from the pot and immediately put in a bowl of cold water. Once cooled, drain on a clean tea towel in a single layer; don't pile them up, they will stick together. Repeat with the remaining sheets in batches. Reserve the pasta water. ROASTED VEG: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bring a pot of water to the boil with a pinch of salt. Spread the butternut, carrot pieces, and onion on a roasting tray.
