Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

02

Step
0 mins

Toss butternut squash with olive oil, 1 tablespoon garlic, ground sage, and seasoned salt in a 9x11-inch baking dish until coated.

03

Step
1 hrs

Roast in the preheated oven, stirring every 20 minutes, until butternut squash is tender, about 1 hour.

04

Step
0 mins

Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

05

Step
11 mins

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly pour in milk; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir sauce until thick and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes.

06

Step
0 mins

Remove sauce from heat; stir in roasted butternut squash, chili powder, ground sage, and rosemary. Puree sauce with an immersion blender until smooth.

07

Step
0 mins

Mix ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, spinach, egg, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.

08

Step
0 mins

Spread 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Repeat layers twice more, ending with remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

09

Step
50 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella cheese is melted, about 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until bubbly, about 10 minutes more.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the ricotta mixture.
Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery lasagna.
If you prefer a more textured sauce, you can skip the immersion blender step or only partially blend the sauce.

    Be careful not to overcook the butternut squash, or it will be mushy.
