Spread a third of the remaining ricotta mixture over the lasagne, top with the pumpkin and another sheet of lasagne. Spread half the remaining ricotta mixture over the lasagne, top with the spinach and another sheet of lasagne. Spread remaining ricotta mixture over the pasta, top with the mushroom mixture and another sheet of lasagne. Top with basil, tomato and mozzarella. Reduce oven to 180°C.
