Equipment

  • oven
  • large saucepan
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Large sheet pan

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 3 pounds butternut squash, quartered and diced (about 8 cups of cubed squash)

Dairy

  • 4 cups milk, 2% or whole
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ⅓ cups freshly grated Parmesan

Oil and Butter

  • 3 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Miscellaneous

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • a few sprigs fresh rosemary and sage
  • 9 sheets dry no-boil lasagne pasta (7 by 3 ½ inch sheets)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread the squash onto an extra-large sheet pan or 2 standard-sized sheet pans. Toss with 2 tablespoons of oil if using the large pan or 1 tablespoon each if using the smaller sheet pans. Season with salt and toss to coat. Transfer to the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, tossing halfway until the squash is tender and beginning to turn golden.
  • While squash is roasting, in a saucepan, bring milk to a simmer with the rosemary and sage sprigs. Heat milk mixture over low heat for 10 minutes and pour through a sieve into a large pitcher or measuring cup.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, cook garlic in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in flour and cook the roux, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk mixture in a stream until smooth. Return pan to heat and simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes, or until thick. Stir in the squash and salt and pepper to taste. Sauce may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.
  • Reduce temperature to 375°F and butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Optionally, soak the no-boil noodles in hot water.
  • Pour 1 cup sauce into baking dish and cover with 3 lasagna sheets. After transferring, soak three more sheets of noodles. Spread half of the remaining sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with ½ cup parmesan. Top with three more noodles and soak the final three noodles. Spread the remaining sauce mixture over the noodles and top with ½ cup parmesan. Top with the final layer of noodles.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer (or by hand), beat cream with salt until it holds soft peaks and spread evenly over the top pasta layer, making sure pasta is completely covered. Sprinkle remaining ⅓ cup Parmesan over cream. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake lasagna for 10 to 20 minutes more, or until top is bubbling and golden. Let lasagna stand 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

This lasagna is perfect for making ahead of time. The sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated.
