Pumpkin & Mushroom Vegetarian Lasagna
Description
A soft, oven-baked lasagna layered with slow-roasted pumpkin, sautéed mushrooms, sweet onions and garlic, gently cooked in ghee and folded into a creamy, savory filling, then tucked between tender pasta sheets and baked until golden and bubbling. The vegetables become naturally sweet and velvety, the layers rich and comforting without feeling heavy, creating a deeply satisfying meal that reheats beautifully and feels like true, homemade comfort food on busy days.
Why is it good for you?
This lasagna is designed to replenish and steady the body with warm, cooked ingredients that are easier to digest and deeply nourishing after birth, combining slow-release carbohydrates for sustained energy with mineral-rich vegetables and satisfying fats that help you feel grounded and full for longer. Pumpkin provides beta-carotene and fiber to support immunity and gut health, mushrooms add minerals and immune-supporting compounds, and cooking the vegetables in ghee brings both flavour and function, as ghee is traditionally valued for supporting digestion, nutrient absorption and gentle recovery while offering comforting, easily metabolized fats that are especially helpful in the postpartum phase.
