- 2 cups cooked cubed butternut squash
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed
- 12 lasagna sheets
- 250 g ricotta cheese
- 300 ml double/heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese
- 1 red onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoon grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Chop the onion finely, add the oil to a pan and heat it up.
Fry the onion on a low to medium heat until soft, then add the spinach and butternut squash, mashing them slightly.
Add the ricotta cheese, season with salt and pepper, and stir well, then remove from the heat.
Grease an oven-proof dish, pour a quarter of the double cream, spreading it all over the bottom of the dish.
Arrange on layer of lasagna sheets, then spread a third of the butternut squash mixture, then arrange another layer of lasagna sheets, again butternut squash mixuture, and repeat again until you finish the mixture.
The last layer should be with lasagna sheets.
Whish the remaining of the double cream with cream cheese, and spread it over the lasagna sheets, then top with grated Cheddar.
Bake for 25 minutes in the pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahreneheit) until the top is golden.

- Ricotta cheese can be replaced with mascarpone, which has the same creaminess that works well with this recipe.
- Fresh spinach can be used instead of frozen one.
- I chose no-preboil lasagna sheets, which can be used straight away. If you do not have the no-preboil ones, just follow the packet instructions to cook the accordingly before using them for this recipe.
