Butternut Squash Swiss Chard White Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss your sliced butternut squash with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, and spread the squash onto the baking sheet. If it doesn't all fit use a second baking sheet, or layer it. Roast for 30 minutes, until tender, but not too mushy. RESIST TEMPTATION: DO NOT EAT IT ALL BEFORE YOU FINISH THE OTHER PARTS OF THE LASAGNA ; ).
• While the squash is roasting you can complete the other parts....
• SAUCE.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, and cook until golden (be careful not to burn it). Reduce the heat, and carefully pour the tomato sauce into the pan. It might start to pop, so keep the lid nearby. Stir the garlic and sauce, then add the nutritional yeast, herbs and black pepper. Cover, and allow the sauce to cook while you work on the next part.
• SWISS CHARD & MUSHROOMS.
• Heat a tablespoon, or two, of olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch of sea salt, and stir. The cooking will draw the moisture out of the mushrooms, so don't worry if the pan seems too dry. Once they've begun to sweat (moisten), add the swiss chard, tarragon, and rosemary. Stir well, and remove from heat.
• TOFU "CHEESE".
• Break the tofu up and place it in a food processor. Process until smooth, then add the nutritional yeast, vinegar and salt. Process again to incorporate it all, and taste to see if you need to add any more salt.
• ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA.
• Now that you've got all the parts complete you can assemble the lasagna.
• To do this you will place a layer of squash on the bottom of the baking dish. Follow that with some of the "cheese", follow that with some of the mushroom mix (squeeze excess liquid from the mushrooms and greens before layering), then the sauce, then the squash again. Continue to layer the ingredients until you've used them all. Use about 1/2 cup of "cheese", sauce and mushrooms on each layer. I like my top layer to have all the ingredients visible.
• Place the lasagna back in the oven and bake for 40 minutes (or 30 if you just can't wait).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Brush squash with olive oil and place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes under fork tender. Cool then scoop out inside into mixing bowl. Mash and set aside.
• Cook noodles as directed on package. Drain and set aside.
• For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onions and chard stems. Cook until soft then add remaining chard and sage. Saute until chard is wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool 10 minutes. Stir in ricotta, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
• For the sauce: In a medium pan, melt the butter. Add the flour and salt and pepper to taste, and garlic. Cook a few minutes then whisk in the milk until sauce thickens. Stir in parmesan.
• Preheat oven to 375. Spray a lasagne pan with cooking spray and then coat the bottom with a small amount of sauce. Lay in a layer of noodles, then half of the squash, 1 cup of mozzarella, half of the chard mixture.
• In the same sequence, repeat layers until pan is full with a layter of lasagne on top with sauce covering the noodles. If desired, add more parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake 40 minutes. Allow to sit 5 minutes, covered, before slicing and serve.
