Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400° F, meanwhile in a bowl season squash with salt & pepper, a drizzle of oil, & wrap with cling film. Microwave for 3 minutes.
Step 2
Prepare the béchamel: melt butter in a saucepan, add onion, cook until soft. Add flour, squash, and stir for 3 minutes. Add milk and gently bring to a boil. Blend with an immersion (stick) blender, then season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Step 3
In a frying pan add olive oil and garlic, cook until golden. Then add spinach, season & sauté - set aside.
Step 4
Build your lasagne: In a rectangular baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce and then cover with lasagne sheets.
Step 5
Add another layer of béchamel, then ¼ of the Marinara sauce, sautéed spinach, turkey-ham, cubes of squash and both types of cheese. Repeat 4 times.
Step 6
Cover and bake lasagne for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 8-10 minutes until the corners are starting to brown and the lasagne is bubbling and thoroughly cooked. Let rest 10 minutes.
Oven-Ready Lasagne
The wide flat sheets of lasagne pasta originally made by the Romans were called lasagne. Lasagne later came to refer to a dish cooked in a pot using long flat pasta sheets, layered with minced meat, cheese, and tomatoes. Barilla® Oven Ready Lasagne does not require boiling the pasta before baking -- simply add it directly to your pan and bake.
Barilla® Oven Ready Lasagne is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
