THE BEST SQUASH LASAGNA RECIPE



The Best Squash Lasagna Recipe image

Roasted squash and sage are classic fall and winter flavors. I wanted to find the best way to incorporate them into a rich, creamy lasagna. The result-after a bit of tweaking and testing, of course-was a squash lasagna with intense, rich, sweet squash flavor balanced with chunks of sage-scented browned squash and apple, all layered with a creamy Gruyère white sauce and layers of tender pasta.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH LASAGNA



Butternut Squash Lasagna image

Cook's Note: The no-boil lasagna noodles can be substituted with fresh spinach lasagna sheets. Look for fresh lasagna sheets in the refrigerated section of specialty markets.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1 1/2 to 2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
3 amaretti cookies, crumbled
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups whole milk
Pinch nutmeg
3/4 cup (lightly packed) fresh basil leaves
12 no-boil lasagna noodles
2 1/2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the water into the skillet and then cover and simmer over medium heat until the squash is tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly and then transfer the squash to a food processor. Add the amaretti cookies and blend until smooth. Season the squash puree, to taste, with more salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the nutmeg. Cool slightly. Transfer half of the sauce to a blender*. Add the basil and blend until smooth. Return the basil sauce to the sauce in the pan and stir to blend. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce over the prepared baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan. Spread 1/3 of the squash puree over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Drizzle 1/2 cup of sauce over the noodles. Repeat layering 3 more times.
  • Tightly cover the baking dish with foil and bake the lasagna for 40 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the lasagna. Continue baking uncovered until the sauce bubbles and the top is golden, 15 minutes longer. Let the lasagna stand for 15 minutes before serving.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

SKILLET LASAGNA WITH SPINACH AND SUMMER SQUASH



Skillet Lasagna With Spinach and Summer Squash image

Lasagna in the summer? It's fine food for those long, breezy summer days when you need to fill your belly without turning on the oven. This one-pan stovetop lasagna is a true crowd-pleaser, with rich tomato, oozing cheese and just enough squash and spinach to skip salad for the night. Using no-cook lasagna, you can cook this entirely over a low flame, covered. (Use foil if you don't have a lid that fits your pan.) Be sure to start with a well-seasoned cast-iron pan, and never let the tomato sauce boil, which can be hard on your pan and on the flavor of your sauce. If your cast-iron seasoning isn't in tip-top shape, try this in a stainless-steel skillet instead; you'll still get all the depth and aroma, and that same stove-to-table ease that will make this a repeat meal all year long.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, chopped (6 ounces)
1 yellow squash, chopped (10 ounces)
2 packed cups baby spinach leaves
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 sheets (half a 9-ounce package) no-cook or oven-ready lasagna noodles
8 ounces fresh ricotta cheese (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 ounces finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving (about 1/3 cup)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
Handful of small basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a well-seasoned large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until softening, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 minutes more. Increase the heat to medium, add the zucchini and yellow squash and cook until soft and lightly golden, 10 minutes more, adding the spinach in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Stir constantly until the spinach is wilted. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate.
  • While the vegetables cook, crush the tomatoes with a potato masher in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spoon a thin layer over the bottom of the pan (about 1/3 of the tomatoes). Add 4 lasagna sheets, breaking off the edges to fit into the curved edges of the pan. Top with half the vegetables, and drop half the ricotta by spoonfuls over the top. Repeat with another 1/3 of the tomatoes, the remaining vegetables and ricotta. Top with another layer of 4 lasagna sheets, the remaining sauce, and layer the Parmesan and mozzarella over the top.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover and cook over a low simmer until the pasta is soft and the cheese has completely melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook on medium-high until the tomato has thickened, 5 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes, before cutting. Sprinkle basil and more Parmesan over the lasagna and serve.

GOLDEN BUTTERNUT SQUASH LASAGNA

My rich, saucy lasagna features winter squash at its finest.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 small kabocha squash (3 1/4 pounds), quartered, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, minced (1/2 cup)
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, plus more if necessary
1 1/2 cups fresh ricotta
2 cups coarsely grated Gruyere (10 ounces)
2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan (1 1/2 ounces)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 large egg
1 pound lasagna noodles (12 sheets)
Coarse salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for baking sheet
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed well to remove excess liquid (1 1/4 cups packed)

Steps:

  • Squash: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange squash in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Dot with butter and season with salt and pepper. Roast 5 minutes. Flip squash, coating in butter, and roast 10 minutes more. Flip again and roast until tender, about 2 minutes more. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Bechamel: Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in mustard, then wine. Boil 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.

Rinse under cold water and lay noodles flat on a lightly oiled baking sheet to drain. (Do not let them touch.)
  • Spread 1 cup bechamel in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange 4 noodles on top. Dot with one-third of filling. Top with half of squash, then spinach. Spread 1 cup bechamel over spinach. Top with 4 more noodles, one-third of filling, remaining squash, 1 cup bechamel, and layer of remaining 4 noodles. Finish with remaining filling and bechamel. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere.
  • Cover lasagna with parchment-lined foil and bake until heated through and bubbling at edges, 35 to 40 minutes. Turn oven to broil, remove foil, and broil until golden brown in spots and bubbling, 2 to 5 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

LASAGNA WITH ROASTED KABOCHA SQUASH AND BéCHAMEL



Lasagna With Roasted Kabocha Squash and Béchamel image

This rich-tasting lasagna is inspired by my favorite northern Italian pumpkin-filled ravioli. It would make a terrific vegetarian item on a Thanksgiving buffet. Making the lasagna is not time-consuming if you use no-boil lasagna noodles. Be sure to season the squash well as you assemble this

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds kabocha squash
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons minced shallot or onion
3 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour
3 cups low-fat milk (1 percent)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1/2 pound no-boil lasagna noodles (or a little more, depending on the size of your lasagna pan)
4 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut the squash into big chunks, brush the exposed flesh with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on the baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes or until squash is tender enough to be pierced through to the skin with a paring knife. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until you can handle it, then cut away the skin and cut in thin slices. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees
  • While the squash is in the oven, make the béchamel. Heat the remaining oil over medium heat in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the shallot or onion and cook, stirring, until it has softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, but not browned. It should have the texture of wet sand. Whisk in the milk all at once and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, until the mixture begins to thicken. Turn the heat to very low and simmer, stirring often with a whisk and scraping the bottom and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce is thick and has lost its raw flour taste. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Strain while hot into a large measuring cup or a medium bowl and stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of the sage
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a rectangular baking dish. Spread a spoonful of béchamel over the bottom. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of the béchamel over the noodles. Top with half the squash. Season the squash with salt and pepper and sprinkle with Parmesan. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with béchamel and Parmesan. Sprinkle the remaining sage over the top. Make sure the noodles are well coated with béchamel so they will soften during baking
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mixture is bubbling. Uncover and, if you wish, bake another 5 to 10 minutes until the top begins to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Squash: Use winter squash varieties like butternut, acorn, or kabocha for a hearty and flavorful lasagna.
  • Roast the Squash: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges of the squash. Roast until tender and slightly browned.
  • Make a Creamy Sauce: Bechamel or cheese sauce are classic choices for lasagna. Ensure the sauce is smooth and flavorful.
  • Layer Wisely: Start with a layer of sauce, then add roasted squash, lasagna noodles, cheese, and repeat. Top with a final layer of sauce and cheese.
  • Bake Until Golden: Bake the lasagna until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Squash lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that offers a unique twist on the classic lasagna. With its vibrant orange color and sweet flavor, roasted squash adds a pop of color and taste to the dish. Whether you're following a vegetarian or vegan diet, or simply looking for a healthier alternative to traditional lasagna, squash lasagna is a must-try. Experiment with different types of squash, cheeses, and sauces to create your perfect combination. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish as a comforting meal any day of the week.
