Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the lasagna

  • 15 oz. ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1.5 lbs ground sirloin
  • 23 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into ¼ inch thick slices see note

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, ½ cup of the mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  • In a 10 inch sauté skillet, brown the sirloin on medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until almost cooked through. Drain any excess grease. Take off the heat and carefully stir in the marinara sauce.
  • Spoon ⅓ of the meat sauce into the baking dish and spread around evenly. Lay butternut squash slices evenly on top. It's okay if they overlap a little. Add ½ of the ricotta mixture and spread around evenly. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella.
  • Repeat the layering one more time then add the remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 60 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes

If your butternut squash is very large, you may not need all the slices. Transfer any leftover butternut squash slices to a zip-top bag and refrigerate. You can saute them with olive oil, butter, and maple syrup for a delicious side dish.
