This recipe is one of my husbandβs favorite meals. He has been asking me to make it for quite some time and I only recently got around to doing it. I posted it about a year ago and recently decided to update it and reshoot the pictures. One of my favorite things about cooking is that it is always changing and hopefully improving. The same goes for food photography. So this is a new and improved butternut squash lasagna recipe.
The lasagna βnoodlesβ in this recipe are grain-free crepes. I personally use Against all Grain crepes/tortillas but you can use any of your favorite tortillas/crepes if you like. This recipe is great if you are craving some comfort food and something more filling.
