Yellow Squash Lasagna Directions

1. Cut your squash

You can use a peeler to make thin slices, cut them into wedges, or chop them up. I opted to chop it up into small bite-size cubes.

2. Put pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan

I coated the bottom of a 9×13″ pan with spaghetti sauce

3. Place 1/3 of the squash onto the sauce

I placed 1/3 of my squash on top of the sauce.

How do you bulk up lasagna?

• Add meat of your choice like beef, turkey, etc
• Add spinach and any vegetables of your choice
• Add mushrooms
• Add olives
• Add noodles
• Add a variety of cheeses

4. Add 1/3 of the cottage cheese

I spread 1/3 of the container of cottage cheese onto the squash. I use a spoon to place dollops around the pan and then spread them out with a spoon.

5. Add a little mozzarella cheese

I lightly spread some mozzarella cheese over the cottage cheese in the pan.

6. Add 2 more layers

Repeat the process of the layers 2 more times – sauce, veggies, cottage cheese, mozzarella, repeat.

What goes on the top layer of lasagna?

The top layer of lasagna is cheese.

I like to cover the top layer when putting it in the oven with tin foil to prevent the cheese from burning.

7. Bake the lasagna

I placed the covered lasagna in the oven and baked it at 350 degrees for 1 hour. I pulled the tinfoil off the pan for the last 10 minutes.

8. Pull out and let stand for 10 minutes

I pulled the lasagna out and let it cool for 10 minutes to help it set up. I was a little bummed that it was a little more watery than I wanted it to be and that the cheese had sunk down into the lasagna.

I ended up serving it in bowls as it served more like a casserole rather than a square piece of lasagna. It was really delicious! The history of lasagna is very interesting and I love how it’s something you can make so many different variations of.
