    METHOD:
  • 1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees.
  • 2. For this filling you will need to have pre-cooked Butternut Squash puree. Using food processor combine 2 cups of Butternut Squash puree with Ricotta Cheese, Milk, Salt and Nutmeg. Add more milk if needed (to make the butternut squash filling very creamy). Mix very well taste and add more Salt if needed.
  • 3. Combine Spinach, Ricotta Cheese, Mozzarella, Garlic, Salt and Pepper. Mix taste and add more Salt & Pepper if needed.
  • 4. Bring a very large pot of water to boil and cook Lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Rinse in cold water and drain. Using knife trim noodles to fit your baking dish (if necessary).
  • 5. Prepare a baking dish: I used a casserole dish 27cm x 21.5cm x 7.6cm deep. Grease the Lasagna dish lightly with Olive Oil spray. Spread 1/3 of Butternut Squash filling on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle lightly with Mozzarella Cheese. Top with cooked Lasagna noodles without overlapping (I used 3 noodles).
  • 6. Spread half of Spinach filling over the noodles. Top lightly with Mozzarella Cheese. Top with cooked noodles.
  • 7. Spread another layer (1/3) of Butternut Squash mixture, then sprinkle lightly with Mozzarella Cheese. Top with cooked noodles.
  • 8. Spread the remaining half of Spinach filling over the noodles. Top lightly with Mozzarella Cheese. Top with the final layer of cooked noodles.
  • 9. Spread a generous amount of Butternut Squash filling (the remaining 1/3) over this final layer of noodles sprinkle with grated Parmesan and remaining Mozzarella Cheese (about 1/2 cup of mozzarella). Generously sprinkle the Cheese with Italian
