Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 fresh lasagna noodles (or no-boil)
  • 2 cups butternut squash, roasted
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh sage or thyme
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut butternut squash in half, remove seeds, drizzle with olive oil, and roast until fork-tender (about 30-40 minutes).
  2. While the squash roasts, mix ricotta cheese with salt, pepper, chopped spinach or kale, and herbs in a bowl until creamy.
  3. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Spread each noodle with the cheese mixture followed by spoonfuls of roasted squash.
  4. Pour marinara sauce into a baking dish. Roll the noodles tightly and place seam-side down in the dish. Top with more sauce and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese generously.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake another 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Keywords: You can prepare these rolls ahead of time and refrigerate before baking. Swap ricotta for cottage cheese for a lighter option. Try adding crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
