12/02/2018 I make this every year in my crockpot for holiday parties. I add extra layers and it’s ALWAYS a hit. Easy to make and delicious.

12/26/2017 I've made this lasagna several times and it has been delicious each time. I love the combination of squash and sage with creamy pasta. Not sure how well it would do if made in advance or if it would freeze.

11/20/2016 I've made this before and loved it but am looking to make it ahead of time. Should I prepare the lasagna, freeze it and then cook it or prepare and cook and then freeze? What would you recommend?

11/18/2014 Has anyone had success in making this dish either part-way or fully ahead of time? I'd like to make this for my vegetarian friends on Thanksgiving, but will also be roasting a turkey.

12/05/2013 Made this for vegetarians on Thanksgiving and it was fantastic. Had slightly less squash, but it was fine. One trick, I sprinkled a little more nutmeg on each of the ricotta layers. And I started the layers off with a noodle.

11/26/2013 I made this for a dinner party. They all asked for the recipe. It was so good! I will definitely be making this again.

12/01/2012 This was delicious! I used no-boil noodles and they cooked great, but I think they absorbed too much of the squash/stock moisture so the dish ended up a bit dry. Next time I will either add more stock or I also think it would be nice with a bechamel sauce.

10/22/2012 I just made this recipe and it is delicious! I also added in some sweet Italian sausage so it was not vegetarian. i didn't have broth so i made some with a knorr boullion packet. I highly recommend this and do suggest you use the fresh pasta and fresh mozzarella, it makes such a difference in the taste. I don't think I'll be using the packaged stuff too often anymore.

10/21/2012 This is so delicious! I used no-boil packaged lasagna sheets because it's what I had on hand and it turned out great. You have to soak them first in some warm water until they were soft. If you don't, they will soak up all of the liquid and leave a crunchy rock. That was my only substitution. For anyone looking to reduce the recipe for just 1 person: I did 1/3 of everything and it fits perfectly in a bread pan. 3 perfect slices. That way you don't have to eat leftovers the entire week!

11/07/2011 I love lasagna, and always have the challenge that I am cooking for but ONE person and end up with way too many leftovers and too many segments of frozen lasagna in my freezer. Solution: I made the perfect lasagna for ONE in a *bread pan*! It yielded 3 perfect slices! Based on this recipe: I used roasted pumpkin and shallots instead of squash. Skipped the heavy cream, used a whole egg, and low-fat ricotta and mozzarella. I also added some Cayenne pepper. This is an EXCELLENT recipe! Loved it.
