Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and lay flat to cool.
  2. Prepare filling by mixing mashed butternut squash, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, sage, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Make béchamel sauce by melting butter, whisking in flour, and gradually adding warm milk. Stir in sage and garlic, then nutmeg and cayenne.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Assemble roll-ups with filling and sprinkle mozzarella before rolling, placing seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour béchamel sauce over roll-ups, sprinkle remaining mozzarella, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with crispy sage leaves if desired.
