Chicken lasagne with pumpkin

The chicken adds a twist to the lasagne recipe, whereas the pumpkin brings the feel of Halloween to the dish

Newsroom October 8 12:59

Lasagne is always a family favorite, however an extra-enticing version can be created by making it with chicken mince meat and pumpkin

Serves: 4-6 Preparation time: 60 mins Cooking time: 50 mins Ready in: 1.50 mins

INGREDIENTS

1 packet of lasagne
800 grams of chicken fillet, cut up in small portions
500 grams of red pumpkin, diced
1 onion
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of mint, finely chopped
400 grams of tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon of tomato paste, mixed in with 1/2 a cup of water
1 tub of full yoghurt (200gr)
1/2 a cup of evaporated milk
100ml of dry white whine
1 cup of olive oil
salt and pepper, freshly grouned

PREPARATION METHOD

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Place the diced pumpkin in a small dish, add salt and peper to taste, and then add a little olive oil. Place the dish in the oven for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Add olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add chicken and saute for around 20 minutes until it becomes golden brown. Drown out with half the wine and then pull from the fire.

Step 3

Place the chicken in a bowl. Do not clean the frying pan, but add some olive oil inside. Sautee the onion until soft. Add the garlic clove and then drown it out with the rest of the wine. Add the tomatoes, water and salt and pepper. Let the sauce bubble for 15 minutes. Add the mint and parsley while continuously mixing the ingredients so that they don’t stick to the pan.
