Pumpkin & Pinenut (or slivered almonds) Lasagne:

Ingredients:

* 1 kg pumpkin
* 2 tablespoons cream cheese
*2 eggs
* 400g egg lasagne (I've used dried/instant, soaked briefly in water)
* I cup grated tasty cheese
* I cup toasted pinenuts (slivered almonds work well, too. And considerably cheaper)
* 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shavings ( or cheaper variety of similar cheese)

To make:

* Peel & deseed pumpkin. Cut into pieces & boil or steam for 20 minutes, or until cooked.
* Drain well & mash
* mix in cream cheese (I sometimes add feta & combine), eggs & nutmeg. Beat well.
* Grease lasagne dish.
* Cut a sheet (or sheets) of lasagne to fit the base.
* Spread with a layer of the pumpkin.
* Sprinkle with grated tasty cheese & top with pinenuts/almonds
* repeat layers until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of cheese & pinenuts/almonds
* Bake in 180 C oven for 25 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
Serve topped with parmesan (or other) cheese shavings.
