The pumpkin is roasted in the oven with thyme, cumin and paprika before marinating in lemon juice to give it a truly delicious flavor.

To save time simply use fresh store brought lasagna sheets, found in the cold section of your supermarket or simply pre-cook dried lasagna sheets instead.
No-boil lasagna noodles are perfect for this recipe, as they absorb all the juices that accumulate in the crockpot. Use 2 (10-ounce) packages of frozen chopped spinach in place of fresh, if you prefer. Also, any mushroom will work.

Now my husband and I enjoy this entree often. -Virginia Foley, Manchester, New Hampshire
