such a mushy dish lol like babyfood

[juliaforyourthoughts]

I don't use the cookies, I add a tablespoon of brown sugar instead. I have made this lasagne SO many times and everyone loves it!

I use this dish as my "welcome to fall" dish, but I substitute half the squash for a yam and then mash them rather than puree (I like the texture better). It's soooo good!

[AdIgnorantiam]

I wonder if you could substitute gingerbread for the amaretti. Any takers?

[Treefox]

@AdIgnorantiam I usually either do a gingersnap cookie or even just a pinch of cinnamon - works great everytime : )

I think it would give a better flavor if the squash chunks were roasted for little bit first.

It's just so wonderful. I've made this dish for special occasions; birthdays, showers, Thanksgiving and whenever we crave it! This recipe is perfect. I top the dish off with some more crushed Amaretti cookies and chopped hazelnuts. My family and friends Absolutely love it! Thanks Giada!

[liquidsugarz]

I would use fontina cheese instead. I have had this before though and it is out of this world, the cookies really do make it 10 times better.

i made this for thanksgiving and my family went all the way to giada to thank her for that recipe

[zydeco06]

Was the biggies hit this thanksgiving!!! Love it

[punjabiqt08]

oh the magic of tv time.

this recipe actually takes a lot longer than giada makes it seem because the chopping, seeding, and peeling of the butternut squash is pretty tedious. and the cooking time is also a while..

[saveusrecycle]

You can always buy the pre peeled, seeded and cut butternut squash at the market. It's as just as good. Also, frozen squash is always an option. I use it all the time and it is as just as delicious. Nutritionists say that frozen is better than store fresh because the nutrients stay.

[kristiegirl33]

@saveusrecycle that's cool. :)

[punjabiqt08]

are the cookies necessary?

[ghenghischron]

i hate when they add secret ingredients. now if i want to make it right i have to buy a whole box of cookies just to add 3 to a lasagna

[vladovna]

you can eat the cookies at other times, too..just so that you know

[FM897]

Find other recipes to make with them. I'm pretty sure they last a while too, so don't worry about using them up in a week or something. And of course, as vladovna said, you can eat the cookies by themselves as well.

[jgoolia2345]

I have made this so many times, it is one of the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten.

[christiwhite]

she is a hero!

[nswe2002]

its the BEST!!!!

[amyvb1]

Mmm, this sounds delicious!

[JDX000]

haha

what makes the lasagna good is the so familiar cheese, not the other stuff.

haha

it's like the cheese is home
