Ingredients

  • 10 oz. whole wheat lasagna noodles
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 6 cups sliced leeks
  • ½ cup flour
  • 4 cups skim milk
  • 1 tsp. thyme
  • 1 tsp. salt

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions.
  3. Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pan oven over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened (5-6 minutes). Stir flour into leeks and cook until nutty (1-2 minutes).
  4. Whisk in milk in a slow stream and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbling (8-10 minutes). Whisk in thyme, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  5. Grate the butternut squash in a food processor.
