Meatless Monday! Link up with me and Tina Muir to share your Vegetarian recipe with us. Add your link below.
People do seem to be going a little “Pumpkin Crazy” these days however most of the recipes and pictures I see are for pies, breads and lattes. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good pumpkin bread too but let’s not forget that pumpkin is a vegetable in the squash family with a ton of health benefits.
I’ve kicked up the health benefits even more by combining Kale & Pumpkin into a yummy lasagna. Hope you enjoy!

What are you favorite pumpkin recipes?
Looks like we were thinking together again this week! Yes to lasagna! I think now is the perfect time for it, and this sounds delicious! I love the addition of cinnamon!
I know we are on the same wavelength for sure! Great minds think alike 🙂
Tina summed it up–you guys were apparently on the same page! And I’m glad for it–this looks awesome!
We are on the same page today for sure!
Mmm this looks fantastic! Love the combo of pumpkin & kale!!!
Yes so do I! Thanks or checking it out
This looks so tasty – I like that you shared a savory pumpkin recipe 🙂
Thanks! It’s really yummy hope you like it!
I LOVE lasagna! Sometimes, instead of noodles, I use sliced eggplant for the noodle layer. Yum!
Yes I do too! I love eggplant as well.. Thanks for checking it out hope you give it a try
Honestly I don’t think I have a favorite pumpkin recipe but I do love squash – does that count?
yes! They are in the same family and pretty much interchangeable in recipes IMO
I have to say that I am over all this pumpkin mania! Your lasagna sounds delish, tho. I make a butternut squash sauce for pasta (with sage butter, yum!) which I will be serving to my family this week.
That also sounds good! I am kind of over the whole pumpkin latte and dessert things thats why I decided to do something healthy
This looks delicious!! I am not sure which one to make first yours or Tina’s Butternut Lasagna, you girls are making it hard!
We were on the same wavelength this week for sure!
Looks like you & TIna were both craving lasagna this week. Both looks so good. I don’t eat pasta, but I’ve been using zucchini and eggplant as substitutes for mine.
You could certainly sub in one of those veggies. I do love my carbs sometimes. We were on the same page this week for sure. Hope you try them out.
So many pumpkin recipes in the linkup this week!! Maybe the linkup should switch from Meatless Monday to Pumpkin Palooza!!
Ha people are pumpkin crazy huh? I need to think up something else for next week
oh yes, i pinned this. this will be happening in my house soon. i bet some beyond meat beefy crumbles would be amazing in this as well! thanks for sharing this 🙂
You know I thought about putting those in bc I am a big fan but didn’t want it to look like I tried too hard. Those will be coming back into my recipes very soon though
Yum, this sounds delicious! I’ve never tried pumpkin or squash in a tomato sauce lasagna before. I’ve had it with pasta in a creamy sauce but this sounds much healthier. I wasn’t sure when the kale goes in from the recipe. Does it get mixed in with the pumpkin/cheese or is it its own layer?
I used the kale as it own layer but it could go either way really. Hope you like it!
People are going pumpkin crazy! I like the fact that you put it in a main dish and not another bread or cookie recipe. Nice job! Looks delish!
Thanks! I know pumpkin everywhere for sure 🙂
Pumpkin in my lasagne! Sounds amazing! Of course, I would need to do some altering to go dairy free but thanks for the idea! I have some pumpkins at home waiting for me to puree them and toast the seeds. I see pumpkin lasagne in my future!
Ah yes you have to make it-so good. I love cheese myself can’t get enough. I am sure it would work well with your subs too.
This sounds so tasty. Perfect for this time of year!
It was just perfect for the chilly weather we are having now. Hope you like it
Omgoodness this looks amazing. I def will be making this very soon. Thanks for posting.
Thanks I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping in 🙂
I would have never thought to put this combination in a lasagna. I LOVE lasagna and for this to be so healthy I can’t wait to try it!!!
I just sort of played around with it until it worked and it did! Hope you enjoy!
Yum! Yet another super yummy recipe! thank you for sharing! 🙂
Thanks! Hope you give it a try
I’ve never had a pumpkin lasagne, but I love pumpkin ravioli!
Very similar I am sure and just as yummy 🙂
I’ve never tried pumpkin lasagna before. This sounds perfect for fall!

This looks so good. I LOVE pumpkin and I love finding new and interesting ways to eat it (not just in pies and bread 🙂 )
It really is a healthy veggie if you don’t think of it as a dessert 🙂 Hope you like it
