Butternut Squash Lasagna

Butternut Squash and Spinach Lasagna

Because squashes keep well and they’re in season, I bought my favourite, butternut squash, to keep until I’m back from my short city break. However, the poor squash fell twice on its head and I discovered a crack. Left with no choice, I cut the squash into two, carve out the seeds, lather the cut sides with olive oil and bake them until soft. I wrapped the two sides in foil and put them in the fridge.

I’m not keen on making cream soup with it: it’s boring. A friend suggested that I should make a Manadonese dish with coconut oil and herbs. Not possible as I’ve roasted them.

While browsing I discover some interesting use (pumpkin bread!) and butternut squash lasagna. I love squash in ravioli but refuse to make them as they’re tedious. So this is the perfect solution. Thanks Adrienne!
