Cheesy Pumpkin Lasagna Rollups

October 27, 2023 by Gina +

Savory cheesy pumpkin lasagna rolls should be on the top of fall comfort food for everyone. Lasagna is delicious, but there’s something more fun about individual rolls stuffed with pumpkin, and cheese, and layered with an alfredo sauce. It’s just the comfort food we need when coming into these colder months.

It wasn’t until this year that I decided to take my love for all things pumpkin from sweet to savory. I had no idea savory pumpkin recipes could be so good. Pumpkin really has a more mild, less sweet taste than some squash, like butternut. This makes it perfect to use for either sweet or savory recipes. When we add sweetener and fall spices, it’s obviously delicious. Hello, pumpkin bread. But when you mix it with a light cheese like cottage cheese or ricotta, it’s a great creamy addition to pasta.


Ingredients needed for the Pumpkin Lasagna Rolls

  • 1 box lasagna sheets
  • I 15oz container Good Culture cottage cheese
  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • ยฝ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 jar alfredo sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella

How to Make the Pumpkin Lasagna Rolls

  • Boil lasagna noodles per box instructions.ย 
  • Lay flat after draining, do not put them on top of each other.
  • In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, pumpkin, garlic powder, pumpkin spice, pinch of salt.ย ย 
  • With all the sheets laid out, spoon a few tablespoons of filling onto each sheet.ย  12 sheets, there will be extra in case of any break.ย 
  • Once itโ€™s all evenly spooned, spread it out on each sheet.ย  I spoon before spreading to make sure each gets an even amount.ย 
  • Once itโ€™s spread, sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella over all the pumpkin filling.ย  Gently roll.ย 
  • In a large cast iron or baking dish spread 1 cup alfredo.ย  Place each lasagna roll over the sauce.ย 
  • Top with another ยฝ cup to 1 cup sauce and top with mozzarella.ย  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Peruvian-style chicken with creamy green sauce T Peruvian-style chicken with creamy green sauce 

The chicken is smoky, garlicky and grilled until juicy, but the creamy cilantro green sauce is what really makes this recipe. I could put it on just about everything.

I kept the heat family-friendly by using just one seeded jalapeรฑo, but you can always leave some of the seeds in or add another jalapeรฑo if you like things spicy. Serve it with rice, grilled corn, potatoes or veggies for an easy summer dinner the whole family will love.

For the chicken:

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
ยฝ tsp black pepper

For the creamy green sauce:

1 packed cup fresh cilantro
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 small jalapeรฑo, seeds removed
1 garlic clove
Juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp grated parmesan
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
ยฝ tsp kosher salt
ยผ tsp black pepper

Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, vinegar and seasonings. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Add all of the green sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and add another squeeze of lime or pinch of salt if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5โ€“7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through to 165ยฐF. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and drizzle generously with the creamy green sauce.

Serve with rice, grilled corn, avocado, roasted potatoes or your favorite veggiesโ€”and definitely keep extra green sauce on the side.
