Butternut Squash Lasagna Roll Ups

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Prepare a sheet tray with a drizzle of oil. Drain the noodles & lay in the oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the frozen butternut squash, 2 tbsp of water & a pinch of salt. Stir & cook for 5-7 min. Smash into a purée with the back of the spoon.

Step 3

Turn off the heat & add garlic powder. Add half the ricotta cheese & mix well to combine. Stir in your favorite seasonings like Italian seasoning & crushed pepper flakes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl & set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add frozen spinach & a tbsp of water over medium heat. Stir & cook for 4-5 min or until softened. Reduce the heat to low. Add in half the mozzarella cheese & mix until melted. Turn off the heat & add the remaining ricotta, salt & pepper. Mix it all together until combined & creamy.

Step 5

Take the cooked lasagna noodles & spread a layer of the butternut squash mixture on each noodle. Add a layer of the spinach mixture on top.

Step 6

Roll up each noodle into a spiral & arrange in a baking dish.

Step 7

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake in the oven at 375°F for 10-15 min. The cheese should be melty & bubbly on top! Serve hot garnished with fresh basil & grated parm if you have! For a saucier finish, heat up your favorite marinara sauce to serve on top! Enjoy!
