  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock

Ricotta Filling:

  • 1 pound fresh ricotta, drained
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest (from about 1/2 a lemon)

  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 package lasagna noodles
  • 12 cups fresh mozzarella, shredded or sliced
  • Crispy sage leaves to finish, if desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Kabocha Squash Sauce: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add kabocha, onion, garlic, and sage. Cook until onion is translucent. Add stock, simmer until squash is soft, then blend until smooth. Season to taste.
  2. Make Ricotta Filling: Combine ricotta, nutmeg, lemon zest, Parmigiano-Reggiano, egg, salt, and pepper.
  3. Assemble: Boil lasagna noodles. Spread kabocha sauce and ricotta mixture on each noodle. Roll up and place in a dish. Top with remaining sauce and mozzarella.
  4. Bake: Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Serve warm with crispy sage leaves.

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
