Ingredients

  • lb ground beef grass-fed beef preferred
  • butternut squash large
  • ½ cup tomato sauce jarred works
  • 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!
