No pasta Lasagne

I’m a big fan of lasagne but find it very heavy.  I have been trying various pasta- free versions with mixed results.  I have experimented with layers of courgettes and auburgines which worked reasonably well.  I saw these butternut squash slices in Tesco and thought I would give them a go.  I know what you are thinking- I could have just sliced the squash myself but when I saw the prepared slices in Tesco, I thought they were worth a try without any of the effort involved in peeling, deseeding and slicing!

I had recently been introduced to Walnut Ketchup from The Curious Farmer at both the Inns Market and Hillsborough Farmers Market and decided to use it as my secret ingredient.  I really believe that these local artisan goodies are too good to be wasted on crackers and cheese and should be incorporated into all  types of recipes

I was really pleased with the results.  The squash softens but stays in one piece.  The finished lasagne is really satisfying and delicious too.  Well worth a try.
