Method

  1. Fry the onion in a little oil until soft, add the butternut squash and fry until tender and slightly browned around the edges. Add the cinnamon, a grating of nutmeg and the milk and mash roughly. Heat the spinach with another grating of nutmeg.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the lasagne slices in boiling water for 3 minutes and drain. Put a sheet of lasagne in a small baking dish, add a layer of butternut squash and half the spinach. Season. Add another layer of lasagne and the rest of the butternut squash and spinach. Season and follow with a final layer of lasagne. Rip the mozzarella into pieces and scatter it over the final sheet, grill briefly until the mozzarella bubbles and browns.

    I found it wasn't very full of flavour but was still nice.

    i agree with the above comment, was a little bland and i added a white lasange style sauce too. next time i shall add some chopped red peppers to give a bit more flavour. but all in all, it was tasty and very easy.

    This lasagne really lacked taste which for a vegetarian recipe was a real disappointment. It needs a sauce of some sort to bind the ingredients together with pasta like a traditional lasagne

    I added mild goats cheese to mine and more onion and I added yellow pepper as it is slightly sweeter than red. This helped alot I think. On the top I scattered mixed dried hers on and this gave it a bit more flavour. But as far as the basic recipe goes it was really blan the first time I had it!

    I also found this recipe quite bland, would try adding sliced tomatoes and parmesan cheese instead of the mozzarella next time.

    I read all the above comments and decided to roast the butternut squash first with garlic, mixed herbs and chilli flakes. i then followed the rest of the recipe apart from i put a cheese sauce on the top and then the mozzarella. it was absolutely delicious and not bland at all.

    Trying to soften the squash a nightmare, ended up blasting it in the microwave. Not worth the hassle I'm afraid.
