Butternut Squash Lasagna You'll Crave!
Enjoy this creamy butternut squash lasagna featuring ricotta cheese and a hint of cinnamon for a comforting and delicious meal.
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)
Instructions
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Layer 2 more noodles on top, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over these noodles.
- Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining squash mixture, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top layer.
- 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.
