How to make butternut squash and spinach lasagne | Vegetarian recipes
As the nights draw in a little earlier and the temperatures begin to drop, embracing Autumn can be tough as summer starts to fade away. Don’t let the changing seasons get you down by focussing on all the great things that September and October have to offer – golden brown trees, piles of leaves just asking to be played in, a wardrobe full of cosy jumpers and some delicious seasonal flavours.
Butternut squash is harvested from early September through to November, so Autumn truly is the best time to make the most of this humble vegetable. Not one for the faint-hearted, we love the butternut squash’s deep nutty flavour in this cheesy vegetarian lasagne and think it’s best served with a side of salad or potatoes with some caramelised roasted vegetables.
