for 4
- olive oil spray
- 3/4 lbs butternut squash peeled + sliced thin
- 4 thin slices prosciutto
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella
- 1 1/2 tbsp pesto
- 1 1/2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- chili pepper flakes (if desired)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and spray the bottom and sides with olive oil.
- Slice your butternut squash between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.
- Layer the squash on the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping slightly.
- Add 4 slices of prosciutto, then a layer of mozzarella.
- Next layer, add the squash, then brush on the pesto, and then the mozzarella.
- Last layer, add the squash, prosciutto, and then cheese.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, dried Italian herbs, and spray with olive oil.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes.
- I had to cover mine for the last 20 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Allow to cool 10 minutes, then slice and top with chili pepper flakes to serve.
NOTE: you can omit the prosciutto if you like but you may want to add some salt for flavor.
