For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the butternut squash with a sprinkle of brown sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Make the white sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before assembling the lasagna.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or eggplant, for the spinach or mushrooms.
If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but use only about 1/2 teaspoon, as dried herbs are more potent.
To prevent the lasagna from drying out, make sure to cover it tightly with aluminum foil during the first 30 minutes of baking.
