Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 cups of butternut squash, sliced into half or quartered moons

Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover, and cook squash 10-12 minutes or until fork tender, adding up to 1/4 cup of water to help steam it, if necessary. Be sure to stir frequently. (Alternatively, you could saute squash for a few minutes, then add 20 minutes of bake time at 350 after assembling the lasagna before broiling to cook it through).
• Remove squash from pan and put aside.
• Add beef to pan and cook through. Add onions, garlic and spinach; cook until soft. Stir 1/4 cup of sauce to beef mixture.
• Add butternut squash back to pan, and flatten beef and veggies down slightly. Top with sauce
• Mix one egg, and T of Parmesan cheese into ricotta and sprinkle with fresh ground pepper. Layer ricotta mixture on top sauce.
• Finally, top with mozzarella cheese.
• Place in your broiler on low for 5-10 minutes or until cheese gets nice and toasty brown. Keep an eye on it, as it happens fast!
• Top with extra basil, Parmesan cheese, and sauce if desired.
