my new favorite use for butternut squash: Butternut Squash Lasagna
Peel and de-seed a butternut squash.
Thinly slice it with a mandoline.
Microwave the sliced squash for about 8 minutes, stopping to rearrange/stir about halfway through.
Make a lasagna as you usually do, but instead of noodles, use the butternut squash. (The only other change I made was to mix a baking spice blend of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg & ginger in with the ricotta cheese & the meat - about 2 t. of the blend in each.) Bake it like you normally bake lasagna.
(I made my standard meat lasagna, but I'm sure it would be equally delicious as an all-veg lasagna. I'll probably try it with my mom's spinach & mushroom lasagna recipe one of these days.)
I could not believe how tasty this was. Very slightly sweet, savory, cheesy, DEE-LICIOUS.
