Molly’s Pumpkin-and-Sage Lasagna

Serves 8 To 10

My daughter, Molly, was a vegetarian during her teenage years, and even now mostly eats vegetarian meals but has introduced poultry and fish back into her diet. When I wrote my first Thanksgiving book in 2001, I included an entire chapter of vegetarian entrées because so many of us cooking Thanksgiving dinner have vegetarians at the table, and we want them to eat as heartily as those of us devouring turkey with all the trimmings. I developed this pumpkin lasagna recipe for Molly, and it has remained a family favorite.

Yes, this recipe contains a long list of ingredients and has lots of directions, and, indeed, there are several steps involved in making this lasagna (see the Cook’s Note for a terrific timesaving suggestion), but trust me—every bite is worth it. The combination of sautéed pumpkin sprinkled with crisp bits of fried sage leaves, layered and baked between sheets of pasta, and covered with a creamy herb-infused béchamel sauce, makes a splendid Thanksgiving entrée for your vegetarian guests. Once the various components are prepared, assembly is easy and, best of all, the lasagna can be made a day in advance, refrigerated, and then baked fresh for serving.
