Ingredients
- â…› lb ground beef (grass-fed beef preferred)
- â…› butternut squash (large)
- ½ cup tomato sauce (jarred works)
- â…“ tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white onion (diced)
- ¾ clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp sundried tomatoes (diced with oil drained)
- ¼ tsp basil leaves
- 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese (optional - as a topping)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Peel the butternut squash and slice in half, lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice both halves in half widthwise. Slice each of the sections into thin slices, lengthwise. These slices will be used for layering in the lasagna.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Bring a large saucepan to medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic and onion.
- Once the onions are translucent, add the meat, salt, pepper, and basil. Cook until meat is browned.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and marinara to the pan.
- To assemble the lasagna, place a bit of the sauce on the bottom of a baking pan.
- Layer the slices of butternut squash so they overlap slightly. Add a layer of meat and sauce to cover the squash.
- Repeat step 7 until there is no more squash or sauce left, about 3 layers.
- Bake in the oven 60 minutes uncovered at 375°F.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle cheese on top. Enjoy!
