Pumpkin and White Bean Lasagna

I know pumpkin in lasagna sounds a little odd, but it's actually a very subtle (nearly undetectable) flavor.

For the tofu-pumpkin ricotta:

1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 sun dried tomatoes 
1 package tofu
1 can pumpkin
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning 
2 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper to taste

For the lasagna:

1 package whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 jar store-bought marinara sauce
1 can white beans
1/2 a package of Quorn grounds
1 package shredded cheese (Daiya if vegan)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
Boil lasagna noodles for 10-15 minutes or until al dente.
While noodles are boiling combine all the tofu-pumpkin ricotta ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until relatively smooth. 
Cook the Quorn grounds in a frying pan with a bit of oil and Italian seasoning. 

Layer your noodles, ricotta, sauce, beans, grounds, and cheese in a lightly oiled casserole dish. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.
