Interesting Facts About Butternut Squash

  • Butternut squash is low in calories and high in fiber.
  • It is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
  • Butternut squash can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups to desserts.
  • It is a winter squash, which means it has a hard outer shell and can be stored for months at room temperature.

The Recipe

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

  • 1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8-10 lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

And here are the steps to make it:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, until tender.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until tender. Add the roasted squash, sage, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, then add the chicken broth and cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions.
  5. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the butternut squash sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, then a layer of sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up.
  6. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top of the lasagna.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
