Welcome to your new favorite fall dinner idea: butternut squash lasagna with sage! Just saying those words together makes us feel warmer. The flavors here are impeccable—creamy ricotta, punchy Pecorino, fresh sage and savory sweet squash.
While it’s a bit of prep work, we’ve simplified a few steps so you don’t need a nap once you throw it in the oven.

Every mouthful is a bit of sweet, savory, creamy, herby, and altogether irresistible.

*If you use fresh lasagna noodles, they don’t need to be boiled.
Make ahead ideas: Boil the butternut squash in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Boil the noodles in advance and refrigerate, making sure they’re coated in a little olive oil.
Or make ahead the entire pan: Make the entire lasagna prior to baking, then refrigerate overnight. Increase the bake time as needed to cook until it’s warmed through and the cheese has browned.
Storage info: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days. Or freeze them: it’s easiest to cut it into single servings and freeze each in separate containers. To reheat, defrost the lasagna the refrigerator, then place in a baking dish, cover with foil and reheat at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, until warmed through.
