Ingredients for Butternut Squash Lasagne Rolls

• 450g peeled butternut squash, diced

• kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 60ml minced shallots

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese

• 275g frozen chopped spinach, cooked according to package directions, cooled, and squeezed dry

• 200g (425g) fat-free ricotta cheese

• 60g grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 large egg

• 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

• Freshly cracked black pepper

• 9 lasagne noodles, wheat or gluten-free, cooked

• 9 tablespoons shredded part skim mozzarella cheese (about 90g )

Preheat the oven to 177°C.

Place squash in a large pot with enough water to cover the squash by 2 inches. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until soft, about 12 to 14 minutes. Remove butternut squash with a slotted spoon and place in a blender with 60ml the liquid it was cooked in. Reserve an additional 240ml liquid and set aside.

In a medium nonstick skillet, add the oil and saut¿he shallots and garlic over medium-low heat until soft and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add pureed butternut squash, season with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a pinch of fresh cracked pepper adding about 120ml to 180ml the reserved liquid to thin out the sauce until smooth. Stir in the parmesan cheese and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, the remaining 80g Parmesan, egg, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and the black pepper.

Ladle about 120ml the butternut sauce into the bottom of a 9 ¿13-inch baking dish.

Put a piece of wax paper on a work surface and lay the cooked lasagne noodles out on it. Make sure the noodles are dry. Spread 80ml the ricotta mixture over each noodle. Carefully roll them up and put them seam side down in the baking dish. Ladle the remaining sauce over the lasagne rolls and top each with 1 tablespoon mozzarella. Tightly cover the dish with foil.

Bake until the inside is heated through and the cheese is melted, about 40 minutes.
