Steps to make Pumpkin Lasagna by Rachael Ray
- Pour some olive oil over the squash. Also sprinkle salt, pepper, and nutmeg over it.

FAQs?
Can we bake the lasagna uncovered?
Firstly you have to bake the lasagna after being covered with the foil. Then in the second shift, uncover it and bake it for 15 more minutes to brown the top layer and make it crispy.
Why the top layer of lasagna gets tough?
Usually, the top layer gets a little hard after baking. To prevent it from getting hard, apply some oil before the final layer. This oil will keep it moist and help prevent it from drying out.
