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.

This was absolutely delicious! We used 3 Cheese Melting Cheese, as we had on hand.
Next time, we would like to try it with Smoked Mozzarella.
We oil sprayed aluminum foil and covered for 20 minutes and removed it for 20 minures. We used an 8 x 12 casserole pan. Other than the combination of flavour, we did not miss the Lasagne noodles at all! Thank you.
Hi Joanne, That’s how i felt.. did not miss the lasagna pasta at all!

It looks delicious. I have two butternuts from the garden. I’m thinking of bringing to a party this weekend. I will have to cook ahead and then reheat once we get there. Do you have suggestions on how to do this. Thanks.
Very good. I made a smaller amount since there are only 2 of us and I had two small honey nut squash on hand. I used an 8×8 dish and it worked fine. Very good recipe and easy.
This was so delicious. A big hit with everyone. Grandkids included! I will definitely be making this again…and again!
Hi Margaret, I’m so glad you loved it! Thank you for trying it out!
Delish!!
I didn’t have any pesto but found some green olive tapenade. It wasn’t easy to spread but it was still delicious! My butternut squash slices were small so I think next time I would overlap them more. Still really good though! Love your recipes.
