Sorry I am not fallen behind on posting. We have been trying to sell our house and I have been busy trying to keep it clean. I am not cooking as much as I would like because I don't have time to keep the kitchen clean.

Butternut Squash Lasagna

My boys sometimes complain about an all vegetable meal. But they all loved this one.

1/4 C butter
1/4 C flour
2 C cream
2 C milk
1 C grated Parmesan cheese or Asiago
zest from 1 lemon
2 t garlic powder
2 T chopped fresh basil
1 T chopped fresh parsley
salt & pepper to taste

Melt butter in sauce pan over med heat. Add flour and stir to combine, slowly add cream about a cup at a time until flour is mixed in. Add all of the cream and milk and heat until thick and boiling. Remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients.

Other ingredients
Grated mozzarella cheese
Oven ready lasagna noodles (my favorite is Whole Foods brand)
2 cups of pureed butternut squash

To assemble the lasagna, in a 9x13 pan put a small amount of the white sauce. Follow by a layer of noodles, then a layer of squash, layer of mozzarella cheese, repeat ending with noodles and sauce. Sprinkle top with cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 min. Remove foil and let the top brown for additional 5-10 min.
