Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb butternut squash (peeled and diced)
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))
10 oz package frozen chopped spinach (heated and squeezed well)
15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
salt and fresh pepper
9 tbsp about 3 oz part skim shredded Italian Blend Cheese (I used Sargento)
1 tablespoon parsley (minced)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add butternut squash and cook until soft.
  • Remove squash with a slotted spoon, reserve about 1 cup of the water and set aside, then blend until smooth with an immersion blender, adding 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid to thin out.
  • 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.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Ladle about 1/2 cup butternut sauce sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish.
  • Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry.
  • 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.

Time 2h

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).
  • Scrape flesh from butternut squash into a bowl; stir with a fork until evenly mashed. Stir ginger, salt, and pepper into mashed butternut squash.
  • 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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butternut squash is cooked through before assembling the lasagna rolls. You can roast it in the oven, microwave it, or steam it until it is tender.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the butternut squash into thin strips. This will make it easier to roll up the lasagna noodles.
  • Don't overfill the lasagna rolls. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll up and will also make them more likely to fall apart.
  • Bake the lasagna rolls until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Let the lasagna rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This will make them easier to handle and will also help the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash lasagna rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your lasagna rolls turn out perfectly every time.
