Use a fork to lightly mash the squash, stir in the watercress, gorgonzola and half the parmesan cheese the pine nuts. Set aside.

3. Preheat the oven to 200c/fan 180C/gas Mark 6. Lay the lasagne sheets out on the work surface and divide the squash mixture evenly placing it in a line at the end of each sheet of lasagne. Now roll up each sheet of lasagne to make a neat cannelloni roll then place seam side down in a a greased ovenproof dish.

4. When all the rolls are in the dish, pour over the passata, scatter over the remaining cheese and pinenuts. Bake for 25-30mins or until golden and the pasta is tender. Serve hot with a watercress salad.
