Ingredients
2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 1/2 lbs white mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 each ( 12 oz.) cans low-fat evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ( 12 oz.) pkg butternut squash, frozen, thawed and drained of any excess water
1 1/4 cups Reduced Sodium Concentrate chicken broth
2 ( 10 oz.) pkg Frozen spinach, thawed and water pressed out
1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
16 each no-boil lasagne noodles (sheets)
1/2 lb baby Swiss cheese, grated (about 2 cups), divided
1 ( 12 oz.) pkg Chicken sausage, sliced
2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Preparation
- Saute mushrooms and garlic until mushrooms begin to brown and all the liquid has been cooked off (12+ min).
- Prepare the sauce. Heat olive oil in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture begins to turn a very light tan, about 3 min.
- Slowly whisk in evaporated milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stirring frequently, bring to a simmer. Once mixture simmers, turn off heat; it should be thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Set aside 1 1/3 cups of sauce. Whisk squash and chicken broth into the remaining sauce.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach and 1/3 cup of the reserved white sauce.
- Transfer cooked mushrooms to another bowl and stir in another 1/3 cup white sauce.
- Add remaining 1 T oil to the pan used for the mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium and lightly brown onion.
- Assemble the lasagna. Pour remaining 2/3 cup white sauce into the prepared baking pan and spread it over the bottom. Lay 4 lasagna sheets in the pan and top with the entire spinach mixture, then 1 cup of the Swiss cheese and 1 cup of the squash sauce.
- Top with 4 more sheets, then all the sausage, all the onion, 1 cup squash sauce, and 1/3 cup of the Parmesan.
- Top with 4 more sheets, all the mushrooms, remaining 1 cup Swiss, and 1 cup squash sauce.
- Top with 4 remaining sheets. Spread remaining squash sauce over pasta and sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan.
- Cover with oiled sheet of foil. Bake, for 30 min. Remove foil and bake until bubbly and beginning to brown (20 min).
- Let rest for 10 and serve.
