Ingredients

Scale
  • Lasagna noodles
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and chopped

  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get that cozy cooking vibe going.
  2. Sauté the butternut squash in olive oil over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Place the first layer of lasagna noodles over the marinara sauce.
  6. Dollop half of the ricotta cheese over the noodles.
  7. Top with half of your sautéed butternut squash and spinach mixture, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  8. Repeat the layering process with another batch of noodles, remaining ricotta, butternut squash, spinach, and finish with more mozzarella and parmesan.
  9. Place one last layer of noodles on top, finish it off with marinara sauce, and top with mozzarella cheese.
  10. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  12. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make ahead: Assemble the lasagna a day in advance and refrigerate. Feel free to mix in other vegetables or substitute cheeses.
