Ingredients

4 people
  • 450 gram butternut squash (diced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 red onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 clove garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into pieces)
  • 250 gram mushrooms (sliced)
  • 300 gram fresh spinach
  • 500 ml passata
  • 2 tbsp extra vierge olive oil ( + extra)
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 250 gram ricotta
  • 6 lasagna sheets (fresh or dried - or pumpkin sheets)
  • 1 mozzarella ball (sliced)
  • 150 gram Parmesan cheese (grated)

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Preheat the oven to 200˚C/390˚F. Mix the diced pumpkin with half of the olive oil, salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of thyme.
  • Spread over a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until soft and lightly caramelized. Reduce the oven temperature to 180˚C/350˚F.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan.
  • Briefly sautée the onion and garlic, add the bell pepper and mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  • Then add the spinach and let it wilt.
  • Add the passata to the vegetables, along with oregano, dried basil, paprika powder, sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let this simmer for 5–10 minutes.
  • Lightly grease an oven dish. Start with a layer of sauce, then lasagna sheets (or squash if you are using that). Then add a layer of the roasted squash, the ricotta and then another layer of the vegetable-tomato sauce.
  • Repeat this until everything is used up.
  • Finish with a layer of sauce, the mozzarella and optionally sprinkle grated cheese over it.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  • Serve with fresh basil and a delicious green salad. Enjoy!
