This is very rich--despite the absence of meat--but very delicious. The celeriac and mushrooms really balance the sweetness of the squash. My only complaints: no suggestions as to type of cheese (I used a mixture of gruyere and swiss) and no mention of lasagna noodles in the ingredients list. I'm looking to forward to making this again and trying a low-fat version.
