Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the roasted garlic and butternut squash cook evenly.
  2. Cube the butternut squash and place it on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic bulb in foil and place it alongside the squash. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  3. Boil salted water in a large pot. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper.
  4. Mash the cooled squash in a bowl. Squeeze roasted garlic into the bowl, then mix in ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, sage, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  5. Spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Spoon the creamy filling on the lasagna noodle and roll it up. Place seam-side down in the dish.
  6. Cover the roll-ups with remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
