Roasted Pumpkin Lasagna Boats

The recipe fits fantastically in the fall and the winter. It is nourishing, easy and with vegan option. 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.
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!
