Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre-bake the squash by baking at 175C for around 40 minutes and let it cool down. This will make it easier to peel and cut the squash. In the meantime, we can prepare the sauces.

The meat sauce - Press garlic into pre-heated pan with olive oil and roast slightly. Add finely diced onion and roast until golden, followed by the minced beef, salt and pepper. Once the beef is cooked all over, we can add the tomato puree with the herbs, salt and pepper to taste and let it simmer until the flavours blend well together.

The white sauce - Melt 2 spoons of butter in another pan and stir in 2 spoons of flour. Keep stirring on medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes. In the meantime, pour a glass of milk and place in the microwave for a minute and a half. Pour 1/2 cup into the butter-flour mix, and pour an extra quarter of the cup of milk into the cup, mixing well before pouring into the mix. We do not want to cool the mix down by pouring in cold milk. Taste with salt and pepper. Stir until the sauce thickens.

Having the butternut ready, we cut off the top half (the half without seeds) peel it and slice into thin slices all across into ‘lasagna sheets’.
- 5
We pour a tiny bit of oil into a baking dish, and build a base layer with the squash slices. We pour our meat sauce as a second layer, followed by another layer of squash sheets. The white sauce is next, and the final layer of squash. Topped with mozzarella all over, the lasagna are ready to be baked at 180• for 20-30 minutes.

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
Just a lighter alternative to pasta but with all the classic flavors of lasagna. You can roast the squash up to a day ahead of time to make this a quicker weeknight meal option. For a larger serving amount, simply roast 2 squash and double the rest of the ingredients. This is also delicious with extra veggies added in, such as mushrooms, zucchini coins, diced bell peppers or some spinach. Just incorporate cooking the veggies in the skillet in steps 3-4.

Low Carb Lasagna Adaptation Low Carb Lasagna Adaptation
My husband Christopher and I decided on a Saturday night to try a Lasagna competition. He made his Aunt Melissa's recipe, and I am making a Low Carb vegetarian Lasagna from Cooking Light Magazine. I changed up the cheeses some, but I'm hoping the grated Kraft Creamy Melt Italian Five Cheese blend comes close to the low calorie benefits of the original recipe.
