Hello comfort food. This is one of my favorite vegetarian recipes from my meal plans!
I made this recipe as easy to throw together as possible. As a mom I try to find shortcuts because time is precious. I hope you find this easy to assemble and delicious!
Here is the recipe:
Butternut Squash and Spinach Lasagna
Squash Sauce:
- 1 lb butternut squash, 16 oz
