Pumpkin Lasagna With Roasted Butternut Squash
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon dried ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 10 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 (15-oz) container ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, chopped 1/2 to 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0 F.
- Place the butternut squash directly in the oven, whole. Bake for 20 minutes or until soft enough to cut in half with little effort. Cut in quarters, place in a baking dish or large cast iron skillet, and roast for 40 more minutes or until the skin can be easily peeled away from the flesh. Cut into chunks about 1/2 to 1-inch in size. Set aside. Reduce the heat on the oven to 350u0b0 F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin and the next 7 ingredients (salt through maple syrup). Set aside.
- In another small bowl, stir together the ricotta, 2/3 of the chopped mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Set aside.
- Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon 1/3 cup of the pumpkin sauce in the dish. Top with 2 lasagna noodles. Spoon 1/4 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with 1/4 of the butternut squash chunks. Top with 1/3 cup of sauce.
- Top with two more noodles, continuing to layer like this until all the cheese and squash is used. Add last 2 lasagna noodles, and remaining sauce. Dot the top with remaining chopped mozzarella and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
- Cover with foil. Bake for 50 minutes. Let stand, covered, on a rack for 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
