Kale and butternut squash lasagna

6 portions

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 ¾ cups milk
  • ½ cup blue cheese for flavour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups chopped kale
  • ½ butternut squash
  • 6 oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • 1/3 cup black walnuts (for added taste)

Preparation

  1. Put the ½ squash face down in a glass dish. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Slice squash, peel and cut into cubes. Set aside.
  2. In a casserole, brown garlic in oil. Gradually add flour and nutmeg, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to simmer, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  3. Remove from heat, add salt, pepper, blue cheese and Parmesan and mix well.
  4. Pour a quarter of the sauce into a greased 23 cm by 15 cm pan (9“× 6″, is too small).
  5. Add 2 lasagna noodles and cover with half the kale, half the squash and a third of the remaining sauce. Repeat once.
  6. Finish with a layer of 2 pasta noodles covered with the rest of the sauce.
  7. Spread black walnuts on top.

Bake at 450°F for about 25 minutes, lower the heat to 300°F and bake another 15 minutes.

Serve with a green salad.

Enjoy!
