Ingredients
- 1 lb butternut squash (peeled and diced)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shallots (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp fresh grated parmesan cheese
- kosher salt ( and black pepper, to taste)
- 9 lasagna noodles (cooked (use gluten free noodles for gluten free))
- 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach (heated and squeezed well)
- 15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- kosher salt ( and fresh pepper)
- 9 tbsp part-skim shredded Italian Blend Cheese (about 3 oz (I used Sargento))
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (minced)
Steps
-
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the butternut squash and cook until soft.
-
Remove squash with a slotted spoon, reserve about 1 cup of the water and set aside, then blend until smooth with an immersion blender, adding 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid to thin out.
-
Meanwhile, in a large deep non-stick skillet, add the oil, sauté the shallots and garlic over medium-low heat until soft and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add pureed butternut squash, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and fresh cracked pepper and add a little more of the reserved water to thin out to your liking. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese, taste for salt and adjust as needed. Set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 12-inch baking dish with oil.
-
Ladle about 1/2 cup butternut sauce sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
-
Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
-
Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry.
-
Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
-
Ladle about 1 cup of sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tbsp Italian cheese blend.
-
Put foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts and everything is hot and bubbly. Top with parsley and serve.
-
To serve, ladle a little extra sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.
