Pumpkin Lasagna with Beans and Spinach

Lasagna is one of those dishes that never fails, and we can vary the combinations a lot. Today we bring you a recipe from @myfeedchoices . We swapped the white sauce for a pumpkin and cauliflower sauce, which is super creamy and a great substitute for the traditional white sauce. For the filling, we used mushrooms, white beans, and spinach, but you can use whatever filling you prefer. We generally prefer fresh pasta for lasagna, but you can also use dried pasta if you prefer.

Preparation time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4 people

Ingredients:
For the sauce

• 655g of pumpkin (1 pumpkin)
• 390g of cauliflower (1 small cauliflower)
• 500ml of water
• 3 sage leaves
• 1 drizzle of olive oil - Salt to taste

For the filling

• 300g of fresh spinach
• 1 chopped red onion
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 300g of chopped mushrooms
• 1 grated carrot
• 490g of cooked white beans
• Salt, olive oil, black pepper
• 6 lasagna sheets (I used fresh ones)

For the sauce, drizzle some olive oil in the bottom of a pan and start toasting the sage leaves. Add the pumpkin and cauliflower, season with salt and pepper, and let them toast lightly. Cover with water and cook until the pumpkin and cauliflower are tender. Remove the sage and blend everything with an immersion blender.

For the filling, start by sautéing the red onion and garlic in a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the carrot and mushrooms, then the spinach and beans.

In a baking dish, place a base of pumpkin sauce, a layer of dough, then the filling, and repeat the process, finishing with a layer of sauce. Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for about 20 minutes.

And there you have it! A delicious lasagna. You can follow all the steps through the @myfeedchoices reels here .

2) Express Lentil Shakshuka

If you're a fan of quick and easy meals made in under 15 minutes, then you have to add this lentil shakshuka to your list. Made with ingredients that are easy to find in your pantry or refrigerator, and requiring only one pan to make, this is my favorite meal from @healthyibesbyvero on busy days!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of demerara sugar (or other sugar of your choice)
• 2-3 whole round tomatoes
• 1 cup of tomato pulp
• 2 cups of cooked lentils (canned is fine, but well drained)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 eggs
• Chopped parsley
• Slices of bread to accompany

Sauté the garlic in olive oil for 1 minute and add the chopped tomatoes. Add the cumin, oregano, sugar, and lentils. Sauté for a few minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down. Add the tomato paste and cook for a few more minutes. Using a spatula, make 4 small holes to add the eggs one by one.

Cover with the lid for a few minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Finally, adjust the salt and pepper, add the chopped parsley and a nice slice of toasted bread to begin enjoying. Bon appétit!

3) Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are a great way to include vegetables in your diet in a delicious and easy way. In addition, they are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and help detoxify the body. @danielafoneves ' smoothie is perfect for those who want to start the day with an extra dose of energy and nutrients.

Serves: 3 glasses
Vegan/Vegetarian: Yes

Ingredients:

• 1 kiwi
• 2 apples
• 1 piece of fresh ginger to taste
• 1 avocado
• 1 glass of water
• 2 handfuls of spinach

Place all the chopped ingredients in the blender! It couldn't be simpler! If you prefer juice instead of a smoothie, just add more water until it reaches your preferred consistency. If you don't consume it all right away, it's normal for the pulp to separate from the water; just mix everything again (with a utensil) and it will be perfect!

4) Roasted cabbage in tomato and spinach sauce with feta cheese 

If one of your goals this year is to prepare more healthy recipes where plants are the star, then you'll love this roasted kale recipe because it's delicious, very easy to make, and practical. This is our recipe in collaboration with @healthyvibesbyvero .

Ingredients:

• 1 head of Savoy cabbage
• 1 can of crushed tomatoes
• 1 shallot or 1/2 white onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon of oregano
• 2 handfuls of fresh spinach (frozen is also fine)
• 50g of feta cheese (or other cheese of your choice)
• Fresh parsley to finish.
• Olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper to taste.

He washes and cuts the cabbage in half and then into half-moons, keeping the stem intact to help keep the cabbage slices in shape. He spreads the cabbage on a baking sheet and brushes it with the spice sauce. He bakes the cabbage in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. He turns it over after 15 minutes so that it cooks evenly.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic, add the oregano, the crushed tomatoes, and, in the last 3-4 minutes, add the fresh spinach.

Transfer the sauce to a baking dish, arrange the cabbage on top, add the cheese, and bake for another 5 minutes (grill setting) to allow the cheese to incorporate further into the sauce. Finally, add the chopped parsley and it's ready to serve. You can follow all the preparation steps for this delicious recipe here .
