Cooking and Assembly
  1. Step 1: Cook the Noodles - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and cool on a towel.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Filling - In a mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, sage, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Make the Béchamel Sauce - Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, then gradually add warm milk. Cook until thickened, then stir in garlic, sage, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Roll-Ups - Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread filling on each noodle, sprinkle with mozzarella, and roll up tightly.
  5. Step 5: Bake - In a baking dish, pour half the béchamel, arrange roll-ups seam-side down, cover with remaining sauce and mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Garnish and Serve - Cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with Parmesan and crispy sage before serving.
