Butternut Squash And Kale Lasagna Recipes

BROKEN LASAGNA WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND KALE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the whole sage leaves and fry until crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; season with salt.
• Add the squash and shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped sage and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add 1 cup of the boiling water and the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender and the sauce is reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling water and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the noodles and kale to the skillet with the squash and toss to coat, adding the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Remove from the heat, add 1/4 cup grated parmesan and toss.
• Divide the noodles among bowls. Top with fried sage leaves and the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND KALE LASAGNA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash butternut squash. Add ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Set aside
• In a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage (if using). If you're not using it to keep the lasagna vegetarian, heat the olive oil in the skillet. Once the sausage is browned or olive oil is heated, add kale and cook until wilted. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in the flour. Add vegetable broth, milk, and heavy cream and bring to a simmer until sauce thickens. Add parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of sauce at the bottom of the pan, then add 3 lasagna noodles. Spread a layer of the butternut squash and cheese mixture over the noodles, Then add some of the kale/sausage mixture. Then add a small handful of the remaining mozzarella and a few scoops of sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. The final layer on top of the last layer of lasagna noodles should be the remainder of the sauce and the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
• At this point, you can refrigerate the lasagna until ready to bake.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
• Let sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!
