Invisible Butternut Squash, Spinach & Mushroom Lasagna (No Pasta)

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced (⅛–¼ inch rounds)
  • 5 oz baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 20 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced

Creamy Filling

  • 5 oz Boursin (or herbed soft cheese), room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp each salt, garlic powder and onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3 tbsp parsley, minced

Topping

  • about 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.
  • Heat a little oil in a large skillet and sauté the spinach 1–2 minutes until wilted; set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the mushrooms 4–5 minutes until browned; set aside.
  • Peel and thinly slice the butternut squash into ⅛–¼ inch rounds (a mandoline helps).
  • Whisk the Boursin, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, garlic and onion powder, nutmeg and parsley until smooth.
  • Fold in the squash, spinach and mushrooms until coated. Spread into the dish, spread the marinara over the top, then scatter with mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Bake 40–45 minutes until golden and set.
  • Let rest about 10 minutes before slicing.
