Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   Begin by thoroughly washing and prepping your vegetables. Peel and slice the baby carrots into rounds. Wash and cut the baby zucchini into similar rounds. Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. For the pumpkin, cut it into wedges, remove the skin, and cube it just like the potatoes.

2. Cook the Vegetables:
   Heat a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add a clove of garlic (whole) and a handful of chopped parsley to the pan, letting the flavors infuse the oil. Next, toss in the cubed pumpkin and potatoes, stirring occasionally. After about 10 minutes, add the zucchini and carrots. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender and golden, about 15 minutes more. Once cooked, remove the garlic and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set the vegetables aside.

3. Prepare the Creamy Cheese Sauce (Roux):
   In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking it for a minute or two until it’s lightly golden. Gradually add the warm milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy consistency. Stir in the Parmigiano Reggiano and mix until melted and well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the Lasagna:
   Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C for a fan-assisted oven). Grease the bottom of a 20×30 cm rectangular baking dish with olive oil. Start by layering the thin lasagna sheets at the bottom of the dish, making sure they fit neatly together. Spread a layer of creamy cheese sauce over the lasagna sheets, followed by a layer of the vegetable mixture. Continue layering in this order: lasagna sheets, creamy sauce, vegetables, until you run out of ingredients. Finish with a final layer of vegetables on top.

5. Bake the Lasagna:
   Place the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven. Bake for 12 minutes if using a static oven, or 10 minutes in a fan oven. The top should be lightly golden, and the lasagna should be bubbling with a creamy, enticing aroma.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. These vegetable confetti lasagna squares are sure to become a family favorite, full of flavor, texture, and wholesome ingredients.
