Butternut Squash and Spinach Lasagna Rolls

Lasagna rolls stuffed with spinach and cheese, then topped with a creamy butternut parmesan sauce and baked in the oven with even more cheese – trust me, you want these in your life!

Last year I fell in love with creamy butternut squash as a pasta sauce^[1] and have had this on my mind ever since. Now that the Fall is here it was the perfect time to play around with this idea.

They turned out as good as I could have imagined, even my teen daughter who is pretty picky loved these! And, they are meatless so they’re perfect for meatless mondays. Use gluten free noodles to make them gluten free or whole wheat for added whole grain. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For the Butternut Parmesan Sauce:

1 lb butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh grated parmesan cheese
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Lasagna:

9 lasagna noodles, cooked (use gluten free noodles for gluten free)
10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, heated and squeezed well
15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
salt and fresh pepper
9 tbsp (about 3 oz) part skim shredded Italian Blend Cheese (I used Sargento)
1 tablespoon parsley, minced

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add butternut squash and cook until soft. Remove squash with a slotted spoon, reserve about 1 cup of the water and set aside, then blend until smooth with an immersion blender, adding 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid to thin out.

Meanwhile, in a large deep non-stick skillet, add the oil, sauté the shallots and garlic over medium-low heat until soft and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add pureed butternut squash, season with with salt and fresh cracked pepper and add a little more of the reserved water to thin out to your liking. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Ladle about 1/2 cup butternut sauce sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish.

Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Ladle about 1 cup of sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tbsp Italian cheese blend. Put foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts and everything is hot and bubbly. Top with parsley and serve. Makes 9 rolls.

To serve, ladle a little extra sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.

Mixed Greens Salad with Apples, Carrots, Candied Pecans, and Parmesan topped with Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette

by Pam on May 14, 2013

I wanted a light and refreshing salad to serve with the Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette^[1] I made. I decided to combine mixed greens with romaine lettuce, tart apples and dried cherries, carrot slices, sweet and salty candied pecans, and Parmesan cheese. The flavors of the salad mixed extremely well with the vinaigrette and I really loved it’s combination of flavors and textures. It was a big hit with all of us, adults and children, and it disappeared quickly.

Prepare the Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette^[2]; set aside.

Combine the mixed greens together with the romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the chopped apples, dried cherries, carrot, candied pecans, and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the salad with the maple-mustard vinaigrette then toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Parmesan-Corn Bread Muffins

by Pam on September 10, 2012

I wanted to make corn bread muffins to serve with the Italian Chili^[1] but decided to add a little Italian twist by making them with Parmesan cheese. I found a recipe on Cooking Light^[2] that looked fantastic and super simple. The muffins turned out to have a nice subtle Parmesan flavor and were moist and flavorful… perfect slathered with butter and dipped in the delicious chili.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a muffin tray with cooking spray.

Combine the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined. In another dish whisk together the buttermilk, oil, and egg together. Pour well blended mixture along with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese into the flour mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Divide the batter into 9 muffin cups in the muffin tray. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan equally on top of each muffin.

Place into the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Serve slathered in butter. Enjoy.
