Sweet and Savoury roasted butternut squash combined with a creamy ricotta sauce for this delicious Roasted Butternut Squash Ricotta Lasagne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can't get enough of ricotta at the moment, it's heavenly, especially in pasta dishes like this Stuffed Spinach and Ricotta Pasta Shells<\/strong><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another favourite way to enjoy ricotta is on some crispy oven baked whole wheat toast, topped with defrosted frozen berries and a drizzle of honey. Oh, my it's delicious and feels so decadent. The best part of all is that ricotta can be enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butternut Squash is a perfect addition to any pasta dish. It can turn the basic of pasta sauces, into something velvety and delicious. Like in this Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>or this Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's one of my favourite vegetables, as it really is so versatile and pretty much goes with everything. Check out all these other Butternut Squash Recipes<\/a>,<\/strong><\/span> if you need some inspiration of what to make with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Roasted Butternut Squash Ricotta Lasagne, we use a whole squash. The nose part, sliced into rounds and roasted, and then the bulb part cubed and roasted and used as part of the sauce mixed in with the ricotta for that amazing creaminess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sauce part, you will need a blender. I use my Nutri Ninja Blender with Auto IQ.<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>This blender is amazing. The auto IQ technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is you are making. There is also an optional add-on for a food processor bowl, which is perfect for chopping and grating vegetables. Sauces and soups are literally so smooth, once complete in this amazing kitchen gadget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't worry though, you don't need a fancy high-tech blender like mine above, a good old immersion stick blender like the Ko\u00f6lle Electric Powerful 3-in-1 800 Watt Hand Stick Blender<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>or a similar make <\/span>will do the job too.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW CAN I ADD A \u2153 VEGETABLES TO THIS ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RICOTTA LASAGNE?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a whole butternut squash in the lasagne as well as some garlic and onion, but I also like to pair this up with a big mixed green salad, you can add anything else you like to that, like baby cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded carrot, beetroot, peppers, all those yummy vegetables that make a great salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also make some Perfect Chips<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>to serve alongside it. My kids love chips with lasagne. Just try to ensure a \u2153 of your plate is made up of vegetables where possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
