Butternut squash lasagna with greens
This shelf meal turns a ready-made lasagna into a complete dinner by piling dark greens on top as it bakes, adding substance and brightness to the rich squash and ricotta layers. Twenty minutes, mostly hands-off.

To buy
- 4 ounces fresh spinach or arugula
From your shelf
- one package vegetarian roasted butternut squash lasagna
Staples
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss 4 ounces of fresh spinach or arugula with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper in a bowl until coated.
- Spread half the lasagna into a small baking dish or divide between two ovenproof dishes. Top with the greens, pressing them down lightly, then finish with the remaining lasagna.
- Cover with foil and bake until heated through and the edges are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 2 minutes more if you want any browning on top.
Note Swap fresh greens for frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, if that's what you have. Leftovers keep refrigerated for three days and reheat gently in a low oven. Serve with a sharp vinaigrette on the side or a simple green salad to cut the richness.
