I especially like this comforting fall dish because it's vegetarian. Even friends who aren't big fans of pumpkin are surprised by this delectable lasagna! Canned pumpkin and no-cook noodles make it a cinch to prepare. —Tamara Huron, Colorado Springs, Colorado

I'll stick with my old vegetarian lasagna recipe. This was a bit dry even though I didn't cook it as long as the recipe said. It's edible but not scrumptious.

I loved this lasagna! My boyfriend and his parents did too. I did use skim milk in place of the half and half and parsley instead of the sage, otherwise I followed the exact recipe. Definitely holding on to this recipe!

I thought this was pretty good. My husband said he could take it or leave it; however, our 3-year-old son devoured it. I only had regular lasagna instead of the no-boil so I used those instead. I did not pre-cook them, but put them in completely hard. I used fresh pumpkin that I had previously cooked and purreed. It was more liquidy than the canned stuff. You do need to go heavy on the sauce when you don't pre-cook the noodles so having the pumpkin mixture fairly runny worked well for me. I also added basil to the ricotta which gave it more flavor. I put this in the oven before church this morning. I baked it at 225 for 3 1/2 hours and it turned out great. The noodles were well-cooked and it smelled wonderful when we walked in the door. I plan to make this again sometime.

I wasn't sure I would like this but it sounded so interesting and different. I really liked it. The flavors go well together. Great as a meatlees main dish or as a side. Will definately make again.

LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!

Being a vegetarian, I was looking to cook something different to bring as a guest to a friend's home. Everyone wanted to try this recipe...I think more than the actual Turkey!. Easy to follow and preps very quickly. I will make this lasagna again and again.

This dish stole the show!

I made this with our traditional Thanksgiving dinner for my vegetarian daughter. It was a hit! I doubled the sage. Yum!
