I made this last year for a holiday get together and will be making it again this year. It's simply delicious!!! I'm going to add garlic to the roux this time. Everyone will be impressed with this lasagna!

Made 2 to reheat for tomorrow (Thanksgiving...looked and smelled so awesome that I couldn't wait. After allowing to rest I snuck my spoon into the corner of one. Unbelievably awesome. Did not, and would not, change a thing. Fabuloso! Can't even imagine how it's possible...but it will be even better tomorrow.

This was a big hit with my Bunco group last night. I took a risk and made it without doing a trial run. I read all the reviews that had been submitted and here are the changes that I made to the recipe. I mashed the squash, per some recommendations and it worked out great, I probably would use a bit more squash next time. Also I chose to use pesto instead of basil. I had read that it could be a bit oily, so I drained it and also used paper towels to remove some additional oil in the pesto and it worked great. Everyone loved it and thought it tasted great. A great addition to the holiday list of great recipes for entertaining!

So YUMMY! My mom made this first and I fell in love. Made it myself and it was just as good. Add toasted pine nuts over the top for a crunchy textural element, or toasted pumpkin seed. What a treat. Always impressive.

Try this: instead of pureeing the squash, dice it in 1;/2 inch dice and roast it with a little olive oil salt and pepper and a small sprinkling of cinnamon. Saute a container of sliced shitake mushrooms and mix them with the butternut squash. love that earthy flavor with the squash. With the sauce, add a couple cloves of garlic minced at the end and more nutmeg. I allowed the sauce to cool and THEN blended it with the basil. When I put it together I added small dollops of fresh ricotta between the layers. First sauce, then noodles, then butternut squash, ricotta, mozz and parmesan, and a drizzle of sauce and so on. I loke the texture better. The pureed squach was kind of mushy. this turned out just wonderful!

I made this dish for a pumpkin carving party on Sunday. Everyone loved it and I was asked for the recipe. I made the recipe exactly as written except that I used Ginger Snaps in place of the Ameretti cookies. This was my first time cooking with no boil lasagna noodles the results were awesome.

Wanted: A Recipe That Showcased Butternut Squash

Lovely creamy cheesy flavor, BUT... I even used a little more squash than the recipe called for, and the squash was hardly appreciable. If you're looking for something to showcase the butternut squash, this isn't it, but if you want to have it as a side note to an otherwise cheesy, creamy lasagna, with lots of calories, then you'll love this recipe. It should be called "CHEESY YUMMY LASAGNA WITH HARDLY NOTICABLE BUTTERNUT." That explains why my husband who hates vegetables ate it and asked for more!

This is very good - very easy and very tasty. I do spruce up the butternut squash by adding a little honey and spices like cinammon, nutmeg and sometimes garam masala, and add smashed garlic clove to the roux as it's cooking and then leave it in when you puree it with the basil. Have also substituted pesto for the basil when there was no decent basil available, which is tasty but does make it a bit oily. It can also be made ahead - I've assembled it on a Sunday, covered tightly and popped it in the oven on Monday. Works great - only change is that I usually increase the sauce when I do that.

Very hearty and tasty. Warm, filling, and cheesy just like any good lasagna should be. I made the squash puree ahead of time to speed up the weeknight prep process which worked out really well. Thinking I might add more Parmesan or use Pecorino Romano next time to get additional sharpness out of the dish and might even experiment with adding curry powder or cinnamon for a little more spice. All in all, a really yummy meal!
