As with any lasagna, the process happen in stages. You make the several separate parts and then bringing them all together in one large rectangle baked deliciousness and this butternut squash lasagna is no different. I don't add extra cheese to each layer but feel free to, if a cheesy lasagna is your thing. [[start tab]]

Recipe
| Fillings: spinach & mushroom ❶ Heat olive oil in fry pan and brown mushrooms both sides. When done add the garlic and cook until golden brown.  ❷Remove from the heat add spinach, season with salt and pepper and set aside. |
|
Fillings: Roasted Squash ❶Toss diced butternut with curry powder, Chermoula dressing, salt pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil until evenly combined. ❷Spread evenly over roasting tray and roast at 420℉ 220℃ for 35 to 40 minutes.  ❸Remove from oven and roughly mash with a wooden spoon. Not too much, keep some chunks in there. |

White sauce: Bechamel ❶In a thick bottomed pan melt the butter. Add the flour and cook out for 5 minutes stirring, being sure it doesn't brown or catch. It should look like bubbly sand. Remove from the pan and set aside until later. This is called a roux and will be used to thicken the sauce.  ❷Stud the onion half with the cloves so that it looks like a porcupine. ❸Place the studded onion and the half and half on a low heat, don't let it boil. Poach the onion for 30 minutes to extract the flavors. ❹Pass milk mixture through a strainer, discard onion and any cloves and return half and half mixture to the saucepan. ❺Bring half & half to a low simmer, take your set aside roux and add a large pinch to the simmering liquid, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Repeat the process until the desired consistency is reached, like that of pouring custard. Season with salt and pepper.  |
