My rich, saucy lasagna features winter squash at its finest. I wanted to find the best way to incorporate them into a rich, creamy lasagna. The result—after a bit of tweaking and testing, of course—was a squash lasagna with intense, rich, sweet squash flavor balanced with chunks of sage-scented browned squash and apple, all layered with a creamy Gruyère white sauce and layers of tender pasta. Summertime can sometimes bring more squash than we can handle! This Summer Squash Lasagna is a delicious way to use up some of that wayward squash.
