Step-by-step preparation
- Roast the pumpkin
Cut the pumpkin into cubes and season with oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 20 minutes, then blend until smooth. - Sauté the porcini mushrooms. Sauté the chopped shallot in a little oil, add the sliced porcini mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 minutes until golden, then season with parsley.
- Make the béchamel sauce
Melt the butter, add the flour, and toast for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the hot milk, stirring until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the pumpkin puree for a smooth, orange béchamel sauce. - Assemble the lasagna
Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of a baking dish (20×30 cm). Alternate the pasta sheets, pumpkin béchamel, porcini mushrooms, and Fiorita Nobili. Repeat the layers, finishing with béchamel, Fiorita Nobili, and Parmesan. - Bake
Bake at 180°C for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and slightly browned. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
