The ultimate hidden veggie dinner. This isn’t your average heavy lasagna like my mama’s lasagna<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s a lighter, creamier mash-up of sweet roasted pumpkin, savory chicken, and a secret ingredient sauce that brings it all together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been following me for a while, you know I love a good comfort food mash up. We all know the drill with traditional beef lasagna<\/a> it\u2019s delicious, but sometimes it feels like a brick in your stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created this recipe years ago when I wanted the comfort of a bake without the heavy after feeling. The result? A lasagna that tastes like a hug. The sweetness of the pumpkin breaks down into the sauce. The ricotta makes it velvety, and the chicken keeps it lean. My family requests this constantly. Honestly, it\u2019s the best way to get a mountain of vegetables into kids (and husbands) without them noticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
