- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot
- 1 tablespoon water
- olive oil
- Casserole dish (12x9 inches)
- Preheat Oven to 400 degrees F
- In a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, add sliced zucchini, and sliced butternut squash.
- Sprinkle pinch of salt and thyme evenly over vegetables, drizzle with olive oil.
- Coat vegetables with hands for even coating of oil and seasoning.
- Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
- When done, remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile for the sauce, combine water and arrowroot in a small bowl, set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, add coconut spread, when it melts add brown rice flour, whisk until smooth.
- Lower heat to medium. Add coconut milk, almond milk, all seasonings, whisk until smooth.
- When you begin to see bubbles form quickly whisk in the arrowroot mixture.
- Continue to whisk for a minute until mixture has thickened to the consistency of a cream sauce.
- Set aside.
- To Cook Lasagna Sheets:
- In a large 8 quart shallow pot on medium high heat, boil the water, add a few tablespoons of salt, or to taste, then gently put lasagna sheets in, do not push down.
- As they begin to soften they will drop down into the boiling water.
- Stir occasionally to separate sheets.
- Drain, set aside for assembling.
- Save the prettier pieces for the top layer, as lasagna tends to get stick, pieces may break but it will still be delicious.
- It may seem like a lot of salt in the water, however, pasta water should taste like the ocean for the pasta to absorb flavor.
- To assemble the Lasagna:
- First layer, add a third of the "cream" sauce to the casserole dish, about 8 sage leaves then 2 layers of lasagna pasta.
- Second layer, add slices of zucchini to fill pan, 1/4 cup of cheddar style shredded cheese, 5 sage leaves.
- Third layer, add one row of lasagna pasta, slices of butternut squash, 1/4 cup cheddar style shredded cheese, about 8 sage leaves.
- Top layer, add remaining "cream" sauce, 2 layers lasagna pasta, crumble cheddar cheese wedge directly over the top and place 4 sage leaves; if the sage leaves do not lay flat wet the back and it will adhere to the pasta.
- Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet pan (in case it drips over).
- Bake for 70 minutes.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve hot.
