No Pasta Butternut Squash Lasagna
I cannot talk this dish up enough. Its incredible in taste and is super easy to make. The hardest part is slicing the squash thin but then the rest of the recipe is a pleasure to make in less than 5 minutes.
This is a unique and yummy way to use up that butternut squash and it’s also gluten free and less carbs than your traditional lasagna dish. I start with spraying my baking dish with olive oil. Then the first layer of the vegetable goes down, overlapping each piece.
If you want to achieve the crunchy top, make sure you add a little grated parmesan and then spray the top with some olive oil. I also had to cover mine loosely to complete the cooking process without overly browning the top of the lasagna.

No Pasta Butternut Squash Lasagna
Ingredients
- olive oil spray
- 1½ lbs butternut squash peeled + sliced thin
- 8 thin slices prosciutto
- 16 oz shredded mozzarella
- 3 tbs pesto
- 3 tbs grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- chili pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and spray the bottom and sides with olive oil.
- Slice your butternut squash between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick. Layer the squash on the bottom of the baking dish, over lapping slightly. Add 4 slices of prosciutto then a blanket of mozzarella cheese. Next layer, add the squash, then brush on the pesto and then the mozzarella. Last layer, add on the squash, prosciutto and then cheese. Sprinkle with grated parmesan, dried Italian herbs and spray with olive oil. Bake for 40-45 minutes. I had to cover mine for the last 20 minutes to prevent over browning.
- Allow to cool 10 minutes then slice and top with chili pepper flakes to serve.

Love this recipe. We are not fans of salted meats so I add a pound of ground chicken or turkey and spinach layers. It was a great hit. We love your recipes.
Thank you so much!
This was amazing. I didn’t expect it to be as flavorable as it was and I can’t wait to make it again.
looks healthy and good
What a unique recipe of ingredients I never would have thought to use together!
So delicious. Will definitely make again and again!
We loved this!
Just made it! It is wonderful! Flavors are amazing! My husband loved it, too! Very easy to put together. My note to self is to make sure that I slice the squash thinly and evenly.
Thank you for the recipe!
~ oh. my. word. …I am stuffed and my husband had 3 servings!!! This was spectacular! It will be my next family meal when all the kids are home.
I did spread ricotta cheese over the pesto and also did one layer of cheese with mozzarella balls (the other with shredded mozzarella).
Make sure to slice the squash thin…a few of mine were thicker so I added 15 mins to the cook time (also covering lightly after 20 mins so as not to over brown the top).
Thank you for a wonderful new take on lasagna! Mmmm mmmm mmmm! Chef’s kiss!
HI Bonnie, Sounds amazing the way you made it! and thanks for sharing your feedback with us! Cheers!
This was delicious and very filling. I added extra garlic and subbed thin-sliced smoked ham for the prosciutto. The casserole was a bit small for my 9×13 pan but fit perfectly in my 7×11 pan. I think, next time, I may sub ricotta for the middle layer instead of mozzarella.

This was awesome. I made it vegan and with sweet potato. I bought some vegan prosciutto, vegan cheese and homemade pesto!
