Ingredients

1 12-ounce package frozen chopped butternut or winter squash, thawed

1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 cup grated parmesan and/or pecorino romano cheese (about 2 ounces)

1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

2 cups jarred marinara sauce

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

6 no-boil lasagna noodles

2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella (about 8 ounces)

Directions

  1. Combine the squash, ricotta, 3/4 cup parmesan, the rosemary and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine the marinara sauce and basil.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara in a large nonstick skillet. Cover with 2 lasagna noodles. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles, then sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella. Add another layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, 1 cup marinara and half of the remaining mozzarella. Top with the remaining 2 noodles, then the remaining marinara and mozzarella. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.
  3. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. (Check halfway through: If the edges seem dry, add up to 1/2 cup water.) Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Made this using fresh butternut squash but parboiled it just to soften. Followed the rest as written. Came out perfect and was delicious!
