1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup shallots (minced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp fresh grated parmesan cheese
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
9 lasagna noodles (cooked (use gluten free noodles for gluten free))

15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)

1 tablespoon parsley (minced)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  • Meanwhile, in a large deep non-stick skillet, add the oil, sauté the shallots and garlic over medium-low heat until soft and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add pureed butternut squash, season with with salt and fresh cracked pepper and add a little more of the reserved water to thin out to your liking. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese and set aside.

  • Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
  • Ladle about 1 cup of sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tbsp Italian cheese blend.
  • Put foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts and everything is hot and bubbly. Top with parsley and serve.
  • To serve, ladle a little extra sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
7 cups milk, divided
½ cup cornstarch
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 fresh sage leaves, shredded, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place squash, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Cover squash with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms and garlic in the hot oil until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to onion; cook until spinach is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Heat 6 cups milk in a 5-quart saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until milk is simmering, about 5 minutes. Whisk remaining 1 cup milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir into simmering milk. Bring milk mixture to just under a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and scraping bottom of pot to prevent scorching, until milk mixture has thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes; remove pot from heat.
  • Whisk 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, honey, nutmeg, sage, salt, and pepper into sauce until smooth. Cover pot with a lid and keep warm over low heat.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Spoon about 1 cup white sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; arrange a layer of noodles atop white sauce. Layer 1/2 butternut squash mixture, 1/5 remaining white sauce, noodles, spinach mixture, 1/5 white sauce, noodles, 1/2 the mozzarella cheese, mushroom mixture, 1/5 white sauce, noodles, remaining 1/2 butternut squash mixture, 1/5 the white sauce, remaining noodles, remaining 1/5 white sauce, remaining mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, respectively. Cover dish with aluminum foil and place dish on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake until bubbling and cheese is browned, about 15 more minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
