Fall Squash Lasagna
- 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small onions, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups low-fat (1%) milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 3-lb. butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 8-oz. package (2 cups) shredded reduced-fat mozzarella
- Basil leaves, optional
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Place noodles in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; cover with cold water. Move noodles around occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Warm oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic and 1/4 tsp. salt. Saute for 5 minutes. Stir in thyme and flour; cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add milk in a steady stream, stirring; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until thickened, 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan, 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
- Drain noodles; place on a plate. Dry baking dish; mist with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup sauce on bottom. Line with 3 noodles; top with a third of squash. Cover with a third of remaining sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat layering twice, starting with noodles and ending with mozzarella.
- Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake until squash is tender, 35 minutes. Uncover. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella; bake 15 minutes longer. Let cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired.
