I was a little nervous about Bjork liking this (or, more accurately, not liking this). After all, it does seem a tad girly considering I took out the meat and replaced it with a delicate butternut squash puree. But not to worry – he told me he liked it and ate the whole piece! How lucky am I to have a butternut-squash-lasagna-liking husband! Or at least one who pretends to like it! It’s awesome. I was also worried about this being kind of time-consuming. I was looking for some inspiration online and found one recipe that required roasting the squash, pureeing it, and straining it through a cheesecloth – all before assembling and baking. Answer: Yes! You will love me for this. Unless you love using a cheesecloth. I did add an extra 100 calories per slice by topping each piece with Gouda cheese and broiling it for a few minutes. I think standing up to get yourself seconds will burn enough calories to negate the extra cheese. Breaking News: Bjork just walked by me eating a jumbo bowl of Fruity Pebbles (30 minutes after eating lasagna). Maybe the squash didn’t quite do it for him after all. No reviews But if you’re a butternut squash lover (and looking for healthy comfort food), I promise you will love this as much as I did! Or at least you’ll tell me you love it before you go for the Fruity Pebbles.
