Lasagna Filling

Lasagna Assembly

Method

Prepare the Squash Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Squash

    In a large pot, steam or boil the butternut and kabocha squash until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash and Combine

    In a bowl, mash the cooked squash with a fork or potato masher. Add chopped spinach, mascarpone, ricotta, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Lasagna

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the squash filling on the bottom. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by more squash filling, and sprinkle with mozzarella. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles and a final layer of mozzarella on top.

  2. 4

    Bake

    Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Prepare Tomato Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Mix the Vinaigrette

    In a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and chopped basil. Stir well to combine.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate and Enjoy

    Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with a drizzle of tomato vinaigrette over the top or on the side.
