Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups butternut squash puree (i.e. Farmer’s Market Organic canned)
  • 1 1/2 tbs. sel de cuisine (features cinnamon, rosemary, and salt)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 15 oz part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 short whole wheat lasagna noodles
  • sliced cheese to top pieces (optional – but not really)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine butternut squash puree, sel de cuisine blend, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  3. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the butternut squash mixture on the bottom of the dish, layer 2 whole wheat lasagna noodles, then spread half of the remaining butternut squash mixture over the noodles.
  5. Layer 2 more noodles on top, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over these noodles.
  6. Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining squash mixture, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top layer.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, top with sliced cheese, and bake/broil for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

- Ensure your butternut squash puree is smooth for the best texture.
- Don't skip the 'sel de cuisine' blend; its spices are key to the flavor profile.
- For a richer taste, use a good quality Parmesan cheese.
- If you don't have whole wheat noodles, regular lasagna noodles work well too.
