Steps:
- Make the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt. Toss the onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on a separate baking sheet; season with salt. Roast, rotating the baking sheets once, until the vegetables are tender, 18 to 20 minutes; set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, make the bechamel: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the flour until smooth; cook, whisking, until the flour is lightly golden but not brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg.
- Assemble the lasagna: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Toss the cheeses and the flour in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for topping. Evenly coat the bottom of the dish with 1/2 cup of the bechamel. Lay 3 noodles side by side on top. Cover with one-third of the remaining bechamel. Sprinkle with half of the remaining cheese mixture, then top with half of the vegetable mixture. Arrange 3 more noodles on top and repeat the layers (bechamel, cheese, vegetables). Top with the remaining 3 noodles, then cover with the remaining bechamel; sprinkle with the reserved 1/2 cup cheese.
- Loosely cover the dish with foil and bake until bubbly, about 45 minutes. Turn on the broiler. Uncover the lasagna and broil until browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Cut the squash into small equal-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch/2 cm). Toss the squash and onion with half the butter, the honey, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper until well combined. Spread in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Roast, turning occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes or until very tender (rotate the baking sheets halfway through cooking). Cool slightly; combine with the cottage cheese, milk, broth and Gorgonzola.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (3 L) casserole dish. Spread one quarter of the cottage cheese mixture evenly into the dish. Cover with an even layer of noodles, trimming to fit. Repeat layers of cheese and noodles twice. Spread the remaining cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, toss breadcrumbs with walnuts, parsley and remaining butter; sprinkle the lasagna evenly with breadcrumb mixture. Broil for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Brush the butternut squash halves with vegetable oil and season with salt. Roast in the preheated oven until golden and easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter until softened. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, and cook until thick, about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Sauce can be made 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
- Reduce oven temperature to to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Beat the heavy cream until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the salt, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the cream should curl over slightly. Set aside.
- Pour 1 cup of the butternut sauce into the baking dish and place 3 lasagna noodles on top in a single layer. Spread half of the remaining sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Place another layer of noodles and spread the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Place the final layer of noodles on top. Spread the whipped cream over the final layer of noodles making sure the pasta is completely covered. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmesan. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until the top is bubbly and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add the squash, shallots, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes, if using, to a rimmed baking sheet. Toss well to combine and coat in the oil. Roast until the squash is beginning to brown and is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn the oven up to 550 degrees F. Position one rack in the top third of the oven and place the second rack in the middle of the oven so it is out of the way.
- Dust a separate rimmed baking sheet lightly with semolina flour. Place the pizza dough on the flour and gently stretch and form the dough into a 12-inch round using your fingertips. Brush or drizzle the dough with the remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Tear the mozzarella over the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle the squash mixture over the cheese. Crumble or tear the gorgonzola over the pizza and sprinkle with the walnuts. Place the baking sheet on the very bottom of the oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the pizza to the top rack and bake 10 more minutes. Remove to a cutting board and drizzle with the honey, if using. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash. Butternut squash is the most common type of squash used for lasagna, but you can also use other types of squash, such as acorn squash or kabocha squash. Make sure the squash is firm and heavy for its size, with no blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the squash before using it. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in cubes. If you are roasting the squash whole, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast it at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour, or until it is tender.
- Use a variety of cheeses. The combination of cheeses in this lasagna is what makes it so delicious. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but some good options include ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. Lasagna is a delicate dish, and it is easy to overcook it. Bake the lasagna for just long enough to heat it through and melt the cheese. Overcooking the lasagna will make it dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Roasted butternut squash lasagna with gorgonzola is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of roasted squash, cheese, and gorgonzola is irresistible. With a little planning, this lasagna can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
