Broken Lasagna With Butternut Squash And Kale Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND KALE LASAGNA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash butternut squash. Add ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Set aside
• In a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage (if using). If you're not using it to keep the lasagna vegetarian, heat the olive oil in the skillet. Once the sausage is browned or olive oil is heated, add kale and cook until wilted. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in the flour. Add vegetable broth, milk, and heavy cream and bring to a simmer until sauce thickens. Add parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of sauce at the bottom of the pan, then add 3 lasagna noodles. Spread a layer of the butternut squash and cheese mixture over the noodles, Then add some of the kale/sausage mixture. Then add a small handful of the remaining mozzarella and a few scoops of sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. The final layer on top of the last layer of lasagna noodles should be the remainder of the sauce and the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
• At this point, you can refrigerate the lasagna until ready to bake.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
• Let sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

• Combine the squash, ricotta, 3/4 cup parmesan, the rosemary and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine the marinara sauce and basil.
