Thanksgiving Pumpkin Lasagna

Across Italy, lasagna is a party food. We enjoy for Christmas, Carnival and why not also Thanksgiving! The most famous version overseas is Lasagna Bolognese, which hails from Bologna in the Region of Emilia Romagna. While this version is delicious, there are many other types of lasagna that feature seasonal produce.  The warm flavors of the pumpkin, nutmeg and sage in this lasagna make for the perfect Thanksgiving pasta dish.
