Description

A rich and creamy lasagna featuring roasted butternut squash, sage, and a velvety bechamel sauce, perfect for fall evenings.


Ingredients

Scale

1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
12-15 lasagna noodles (no-boil or pre-cooked)
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 cups milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Step 2: While the squash roasts, make the bechamel sauce by melting butter in a saucepan. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and minced sage.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with half of the Parmesan cheese. Mash half of the roasted butternut squash and fold it into the ricotta mixture for a creamy autumn vegetable lasagna with butternut squash filling.
Step 4: Spread a thin layer of bechamel at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of noodles on top.
Step 5: Spread a portion of the ricotta-squash mixture, followed by some whole roasted squash cubes, mozzarella, and a drizzle of bechamel. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, ending with noodles, bechamel, and the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella.
Step 6: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the top of the autumn vegetable lasagna with butternut squash is golden and bubbly.
Step 7: Let the autumn vegetable lasagna with butternut squash rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a layer of sautéed spinach or kale to the lasagna.
