With layers of creamy squash, spinach ricotta and vegan cheese, this
butternut squash lasagna is hearty, rich and full of cozy fall
flavour!

Preheat the oven to 400?F (200?C).

Slice the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and place
cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.

Scoop out the flesh and blend or mash until smooth. Measure 2 cups,
about 500 g.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375?F (190?C) for baking the lasagna
later.

In a medium bowl, combine butternut squash puree, vegan ricotta,
vegan milk, salt, nutmeg, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili
flakes, if using.

Stir until smooth, adding a splash of milk if needed for a spreadable
consistency.

In a skillet, saute the minced garlic in a drizzle of oil or splash
of water for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Drain well and press out excess
moisture.

Chop the cooked spinach and mix it with vegan ricotta, salt, pepper,
nutmeg, basil, and oregano.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain and lay flat on a clean towel to prevent sticking. Skip this
step if using oven-ready noodles.

Spread a thin layer of butternut squash filling on the bottom of a
9x13" (23x33 cm) baking dish.

Add a layer of noodles.

Spread half of the spinach filling over the noodles and sprinkle with
mozzarella.

Add another layer of noodles, then spread half of the butternut squash
filling and sprinkle with mozzarella.

Repeat the layers (spinach -> noodles -> squash), finishing with
noodles topped with squash filling.

Sprinkle the top with remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian
seasoning, and smoked paprika.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until
golden and bubbly on top.

Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
