Recipe - Roasted Pumpkin And Rosemary Lasagne

1 One half kg Butternut pumpkin
2 lg Sprigs fresh rosemary
3 Cloves garlic; minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoon Olive oil
60 g Butter
4 cup Milk
4 tablespoon Plain flour
1 One half cup Grated parmesan cheese
Approximately 350 g. fresh
lasagne sheets
; or 250g. dried spinach
lasagne sheets
1 cup Thick cream
One half cup Extra grated parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 220c. Peel, and remove seeds from the pumpkin

then cut into 1cm. cubes. Put the pumpkin in a large mixing bowl with the
rosemary spikes, minced garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper and toss
thoroughly. Pour this mixture into an ovenproof baking dish and bake the
pumpkin at 220c. for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, all at once and
stir while the flour absorbs the butter. When the "roux" is golden brown,
add the milk and whisk while reheating (it may appear to have lumps
initially but these will disappear as the liquid heats). Continue stirring
and simmering the white sauce until it is thick and glossy, about 8
minutes. Add the roasted pumpkin mixture and mix thoroughly.

Lightly oil a lasagne or baking dish and ladle just enough sauce over the
base of the dish to cover . Place a layer of lasagne sheets over the sauce
and cover with another layer of sauce. Sprinkle some cheese over then cover
with another layer of lasagne sheets. Ladle some more sauce over, sprinkle
over some more grated cheese, continuing until all the sauce, lasagne and
cheese has been used, ending with lasagne sheets (you should have four
layers of lasagne).

Whip the cream until thick, add a little salt to taste then spread this
over the top lasagne sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cheese then cover with
foil. Place the lasagne in the oven then reduce the oven heat to 180c. and
bake the lasagne for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for a
further 15 minutes. Remove the lasagne from the oven and rest for 5
minutes. Cut the lasagne into slices and serve with a crisp garden salad.
