For the Topping

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

1. Roast the Butternut: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced butternut squash with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender.

2. Prepare the Filling: Mash the roasted squash lightly. Mix with ricotta, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, and nutmeg until creamy and well combined.

3. Cook the Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface.

4. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine cream, vegetable broth, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Warm gently until smooth and creamy.

5. Roll the Lasagna: Spread the butternut and spinach filling over each noodle. Roll them up carefully.

6. Assemble: Spread some creamy sauce in a baking dish. Arrange the rolls seam-side down and pour the remaining sauce over them.

7. Add Topping: Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

8. Bake: Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Broil for 2–3 minutes for an extra crispy top, watching carefully.

9. Garnish: Finish with fresh sage or parsley and serve warm!
