Butternut lasagna

Butternut lasagna recipe

Summary : Here is a recipe that changes a bit from the classic lasagna, lasagna with vegetables (and not just any vegetable !!) from Butternut, the queen of squash. Already during the cooking the spices mixing with the flavor of the squash, the cooking was full of sweetness and I already wanted to taste them. My main concern was that my lasagna weren’t too dry, well !!! don’t worry, no problem on that side !! on the contrary, I found them even soft. Butternut lasagna, a different way to eat squash and especially to make the children eat it, they will love it. Of course, I played with the spices; it flavored my dish even more, the Ricotta also played a big role in this beautiful butternut lasagna. If you don’t make your own dough, it’s a shame, but we are starting to find quality lasagna dough in the store, but I like above all to play on the thicknesses according to the bases of my lasagna. . (Vegetarian option lasagna if you don’t include the meat !!!)
