Skillet Lasagna With Italian Sausage and Butternut Squash

"DH and I saw this recipe in a Williams-Sonoma catalog and tried it last night. We loved it! We used hot Italian sausage, as that is what we had on hand, and found we had to break the noodles a bit to get them to fit into our skillet. I definitely think this one is a keeper. Prep time includes resting time at the end. Cook time includes time to cook the lasagna noodles al dente, which is specified in the ingredient list, but not in the directions."

  1. This was very yummy although I'm not sure how you're meant to put a frying pan in the oven. Do you mean a cast iron pan? I ended up cooking everything in a roasting pan that I could use on the stovetop. End result was a very big lasagne, got 8 serves. Threw in some extra veggies too. Made for Photo Tag Summer 2013
     
  2. This was awesome. I will definitely make again. I always seem to injure myself when peeling and cutting squash, so next time I might try it with packaged pre-chopped squash. The cheese sauce was amazing and recipe made plenty, so I reserved about 1/4 cup to eat with bread.
     
  3. I was in the waiting room of a doctor's office and saw the same catalog. I asked the receptionist if I could keep it, she said sure. I finally tried it and it is absolutely delicious. Thanks for posting. I will be adding this to my DH 10 star recipe book request. I do suggest doubling the sauce for layering. I ran out and had to make some extra

I work full-time as a School Psychologist in Michigan. Besides the kids, one of the best aspects of the job is summer vacation, when I can concentrate on doing more of the things that I like to do---like look up recipes and play games on Recipezaar!!! I married my wonderful and handsome husband, Sean, in August 2007. He is becoming a wonderful gardender and tends to both our veggie and herb gardens. We really enjoy cooking with our own fresh ingredients. We most often cook together, so my reviews typically reflect our joint opinions. He's the better cook, so I pick up a lot of my techniques from him. My other interests include reading (now that I have time), Irish dancing (I've taken a class for the last several years), "appreciating" wine (I use the term very loosely), and listening to and going to see Irish bands (I love the Pogues). I also enjoy travelling, especially around Western Europe, where I have been multiple times. One of my favorite places is Italy, and Sean and I had a great time on our honeymoon eating, drinking, and sightseeing in the Cinque Terre and in Tuscany. This July 2009, we expanded our horizons to Eastern Europe and visited the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. Two of my favorite dishes on the trip were Croatian: fish brodet and Hvarska gregada. I am looking forward to trying my hand at making them at home as I see that someone on Zaar, who is Croatian, posted recipes for both! Besides my husband, the other lights of my life are my cats: Chloe, Pip, and my newest ragdoll cat, Giselle, all of whom I absolutely adore. <a href="http://s341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/?action=view¤t=PipChloe_web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/PipChloe_web.jpg" border="0" alt="Pip and Chloe"></a> <a href="http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/Giselle_zaar.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/Giselle_zaar.jpg" border="0" alt="Giselle"></a> I've participated in the following events: <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt= "Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/calendar%20clips/Copyofsoybean.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> I most recently had the privelege of being on the ZWT5 Team, the Sultans of Spice, with a great group of people.
