Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Spray bottom and sides of pan with cooking spray; spread bottom of pan with 1 cup sauce from second pkg (save remaining sauce to serve with baked lasagna). Top with 3 lasagna sheets, placed widthwise (will overlap). Spread pasta sheets with half of the ricotta mixture. Top with one half-pkg of pizza cheese. Top with 1 cup meat sauce.

4. Arrange lasagna sheets on top of meat sauce (half-sheet in middle, 2 full sheets on either side). Spread with remaining ricotta mixture; top this with remaining half-pkg of pizza cheese. Spread with 1 cup meat sauce. Top this with lasagna sheets (half-sheet in middle, 2 full sheets on either side). Top with remaining meat sauce.

5. Cover with parchment paper placed directly on sauce, then foil.

6. Bake 1 hour, 15 min. Remove from oven; remove foil and paper. Top with remaining full pkg of pizza cheese. Return to oven, uncovered, 10 min, until cheese melts.

7. Remove from oven. Let rest 20-30 min before serving.

This is a tasty spread made from leftover butternut squash which had been baked for Thanksgiving dinner. Use it as a dip for crudités or on toast for breakfast. We liked it in sandwiches with lettuce, sliced cucumbers and hard-boiled eggs. We also liked black beans mixed into it. * ½ C baked butternut squash * ½ C fresh ricotta cheese * 2 t finely minced ginger * ¼ C finely shredded fresh parmesan * Juice of ½ large lime * I used a hand held mixer on lowest speed. You can mix this by hand. We use local food and local suppliers and independent stores when possible. The ricotta cheese in this recipe is made at our local, family-owned and operated grocery store from organic milk produced within 50 miles. We eat it straight from the container, look for recipes with ricotta, and create excuses to use it.
