Description
A pasta-free, veggie-packed lasagna featuring thinly sliced butternut squash as ‘invisible’ layers, combined with creamy cheeses, spinach, and mushrooms for a comforting, low-carb twist on a classic dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 ounces baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 20 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1½ pounds butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced
- 5 ounces Boursin cheese, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté spinach for 1–2 minutes until wilted; transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining oil and sauté mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until golden; remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk Boursin cheese, eggs, and milk until smooth. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg until just combined.
- Fold in parsley, spinach, mushrooms, and butternut squash slices until evenly coated.
- Spread mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and squash is tender. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a vegan version, use flax eggs and dairy-free cheese. Substitute gluten-free flour if needed. Slice squash thinly (⅛ inch) for even baking. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze portions for 2 months.
