Ingredients

Butternut Rolled Lasagna

  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 1 lb. lasagna noodles
  • 12 oz. ricotta
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 t. sage
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/4 t. black pepper
  • 2 cup mozzarella shredded

Béchamel Sauce

  • 2 T. butter
  • 2 T. flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 t. nutmeg freshly grated
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1/4 t. black pepper

Instructions

  • Roast butternut squash. Peel & mash until smooth.
  • Preheat to 350.
  • Cook lasagna noodles al dente. Drain, then lay flat on a clean kitchen towel.
  • Cream together ricotta, parmesan, egg, sage, salt, & pepper. Fold in mashed butternut squash.
  • Spread 3-4 tablespoons of ricotta mixture on each lasagna noodles. Redistribute filling as needed so they're all evenly covered, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.
  • Tightly roll up each lasagna noodle.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Whisk in flour and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until lightly golden.
  • Slowly whisk milk into the flour mixture, then add nutmeg, salt, & pepper. Continue whisking for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
  • Spread 1/2 cup sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Place rolled lasagna seam-down in the dish, then cover evenly with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  • Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
