Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds butternut squash, halved and seeded
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
9 no-cook lasagna noodles
1 ⅓ cups finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Brush the butternut squash halves with vegetable oil and season with salt. Roast in the preheated oven until golden and easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter until softened. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, and cook until thick, about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Sauce can be made 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
  • Reduce oven temperature to to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Beat the heavy cream until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the salt, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the cream should curl over slightly. Set aside.
  • Pour 1 cup of the butternut sauce into the baking dish and place 3 lasagna noodles on top in a single layer. Spread half of the remaining sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Place another layer of noodles and spread the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Place the final layer of noodles on top. Spread the whipped cream over the final layer of noodles making sure the pasta is completely covered. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmesan. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until the top is bubbly and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Roasted Butternut Squash, Rosemary, and Garlic Lasagna image

I think this recipe originally came from Gourmet, but I think you should make 1.5 times the sauce or else it's too dry.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs butternut squash, quartered, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1/2 inch dice (about 9 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crumbled
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
9 sheets dry no-boil lasagna noodles (7x3 1/2 inch)
5 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 1 1/3 cups)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and oil 2 large shallow baking pans.
  • In a large bowl toss squash with oil until coated well and spread in one layer in pans. Roast squash in oven 10 minutes and season with salt. Stir squash and roast 10 to 15 minutes more, or until tender and beginning to turn golden.
  • While squash is roasting, in a saucepan bring milk to a simmer with rosemary. Heat milk mixture over low heat 10 minutes and pour through a sieve into a large pitcher or measuring cup.
  • In a large heavy saucepan cook garlic in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in flour and cook roux, stirring, 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk mixture in a stream until smooth. Return pan to heat and simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes, or until thick. Stir in squash and salt and pepper to taste. Sauce may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.
  • Reduce temperature to 375°F and butter a baking dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Pour 1 cup sauce into baking dish (sauce will not cover bottom completely) and cover with 3 lasagna sheets, making sure they do not touch each other. Spread half of remaining sauce over pasta and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan. Make 1 more layer in same manner, beginning and ending with pasta.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream with salt until it holds soft peaks and spread evenly over top pasta layer, making sure pasta is completely covered. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan over cream.
  • Cover dish tightly with foil, tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top layer, and bake in middle of oven 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake lasagna 10 minutes more, or until top is bubbling and golden.
  • Let lasagna stand 5 minutes. Garnish each serving with rosemary.
