View ProfileAs a chef, Chris really loves making lasagnas. He says, “They truly are an expression of love.” And you can certainly taste the love in every bite of this butternut squash lasagna. Everything here is made fresh, with hand-cut vegetables and hand-peeled, slow cooked fresh butternut squash. We love a good white lasagna, with béchamel instead of tomatoes, and this one is loaded up with butternut squash, roasted vegetables, creamy béchamel, herbs, fresh pasta, and ricotta cheese. Delicate, nutty, creamy and hearty, with a good heaping of veggies to make it healthy-ish; you will just feel good from the inside out eating it. A tip from Chef Chris: if you go the oven-route, microwaving it for two minutes first cuts down baking time significantly.
