Recipe: Autumn Lasagne

Happy September everyone! As I mentioned in a recent post, I've been feeling increasingly autumnal over the past week, I'm really enjoying the cooling weather and pulling clothes out that I haven't worn in months.
On Saturday, Arjan's parent's were both out at a party so it was down to me to come up with dinner for the two of us and what is the first thing you think of when it comes to Autumn food? Pumpkin!
I'd come across this brilliant Autumn Lasagne by The Cozy Apron on Pinterest, combining a pumpkin and garlic sauce, turkey, spinach and sage, and I knew I had to give it a go some time, so this was the perfect opportunity.
I won't write out the full recipe etc here (just follow the link) because I made no changes or alterations (apart from using chicken instead of turkey as I couldn't get it anywhere) and don't really have anything to add at all, it was fantastic!

Beautiful, fat, little pumpkin

Fried chicken mince with sage and italian herbs

Tender, squishy pumpkin after a good roasting 
So much garlic in the sauce, but it becomes wonderfully sweet after being roasted

Look at that lovely, bubbly, cheesy crust

Perfection
This was honestly one of the best lasagnes I've ever made, it was gooey, rich, savory-sweet, chewy with mozzarella and the whole thing was cut through with that strong, metallic spinach. Arjan and I both ate until we could barely move.
I will definitely be making this again in the near future and in the mean time I've got a whole host of autumnal recipes to try out.
Have a look at my recipes board on Pinterest if you need some ideas for seasonal meals.
