Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, around 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Spread a layer of pumpkin filling. Place 5 no-boil noodles over the filling, then add half of the ricotta spinach mixture, followed by half of the shredded mozzarella. Repeat layers and finish with remaining noodles and pumpkin filling.
