Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15 ounce) container part-skim ricotta
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (11 ounce) package baby spinach
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons white whole-wheat flour
2 ½ cups low-fat milk
2 ½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus more for serving
1 (9 ounce) package no-boil lasagna noodles
1 1.5-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/8-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat two 8-inch-square baking dishes with cooking spray.
  • Mix ricotta, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until mostly wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander and press with the back of a spoon to release excess moisture. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Cook, whisking often, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese, sage and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper until smooth.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the sauce in each of the prepared baking dishes. In each pan, add a layer of noodles, then cover with 1/3 cup of the ricotta, a layer of squash, ¼ cup spinach and 1/2 cup of the remaining sauce. Repeat the layers. To finish, divide the remaining noodles, sauce and 1 cup cheese between the pans. Cover one lasagna with plastic wrap, then foil. Refrigerate or freeze this lasagna.
  • To bake, coat a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover the lasagna, sprayed-side down. Bake until lightly browned on top, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes. Serve topped with more sage, if desired. Cut into 6 squares.

SQUASH AND SPINACH LASAGNA



Squash and Spinach Lasagna image

Lowfat milk thickened with cornstarch takes the place of a traditional bechamel and ricotta filling and it still tastes incredibly creamy. Fresh, sweet squash also lends a nice richness and part-skim mozzarella gives you that gooey cheese goodness. Fresh baby spinach adds vitamins and minerals to this vegetarian main.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

9 no-boil lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups lowfat (1-percent) milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
Two 5-ounce packages baby spinach
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped, plus more, for garnish
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 butternut squash (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Soak the lasagna noodles in warm water.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and browned, about 10 minutes. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water.
  • Meanwhile, stir together 1/2 cup of the milk and the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Heat the remaining 3 1/2 cups milk in a large saucepan until bubbling. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the milk and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring, until the milk thickens to the consistency of a thin batter, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion mixture, spinach, parsley and nutmeg, and cook until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Drain the noodles. Spread 1 cup of the spinach mixture over the bottom of a 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the spinach. Arrange half of the squash over the noodles, overlapping slightly, and sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella. Spoon 1 cup spinach mixture over the cheese, and top with 3 noodles, the remaining squash and another third of the mozzarella. Top with 1 cup spinach mixture, followed by the last 3 noodles and the remaining 1 cup spinach mixture. Cover tightly with foil; reserve the remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top. Bake until bubbling and the squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes before serving.
