Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large casserole dish. Add the onions and cook until softened, then add the garlic and cook for a few mins more. Push the onions and garlic to the edge of the pan, add the chicken breasts and cook for a few mins each side to brown. Sprinkle over the flour and stir it into the onion mixture. Tip in the stock and season. Cover and simmer for 10 mins - or until the chicken is cooked through. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Add half the mascarpone and the pesto, stirring until the mascarpone has melted into the sauce, bubble for a few mins to thicken a little, then remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
- Meanwhile, place the squash in a large bowl with 2tbsp of water, cover with cling film and microwave on High for 12-15 mins, until really soft. Season the squash with a little of the nutmeg and some salt and pepper, and mash lightly with a fork.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Spoon half the chicken mixture into the bottom of a 20 x 30cm ovenproof dish. Cover with 4 lasagne sheets, then the butternut squash and half the Parmesan. Top with another 4 lasagne sheets, the remaining chicken mixture, then a final layer of lasagne. Mix enough milk into the remaining mascarpone to make a smooth sauce - you need to aim for a consistency similar to white sauce. Season with remaining nutmeg, salt and pepper, then pour over the lasagne. Scatter over the remaining Parmesan and the pine nuts. Bake for 40 mins until piping hot in the centre and crunchy and golden on top. Scatter with a few extra basil leaves before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place spaghetti squash on a microwave-safe plate and cut small slits in it with a knife. Cook in the microwave on high, about 5 minutes. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place cut-side down on a microwave-safe plate and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes more.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over squash and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Use a fork to scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands. Spread evenly in a casserole dish.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 6 minutes per side.
- Cut cooked chicken into 1/2-inch cubes and toss with pesto in a bowl.
- Combine ricotta cheese, egg yolk, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- Layer half the marinara sauce, ricotta mixture, and pesto chicken on top of squash in the casserole dish. Repeat layers once more. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

CHICKEN LASAGNA WITH PESTO CREAM SAUCE
All ingredients must be prepared ahead of time before assembling. Can be assembled the night before and brought to room temperature before baking. *Store bought pesto can be oily and may cause oil to pool in the bottom of the baking dish as you cut into it. Our home-made pesto is nice and cheesy and should not affect the lasagna.

Steps:
- In a very large wide pot, heat water and once boiling, salt the water, then add one lasagna strip at a time so they don't stick and cook for 1 minute short of what it says on the box. My box said to cook for eight minutes and I cooked for seven.
- Have a strainer standing by and gently lift each piece out with tongs into the strainer being careful not to break them up. Rinse with cold running water and layout on a sheet tray not touching each other. I layered with plastic wrap until I was ready to use.
- In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg and the mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat olive oil and add prosciutto and cook for two minutes, then add onions and cook for two minutes.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, about another two minutes. Set aside.
- Pound or butterfly chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of one quarter inch.
- Coat the chicken with flour and shake off excess.
- Heat a large sauté pan to medium high and melt butter. Add chicken in a single layer and cook two minutes. Flip, lower heat to low and cook covered for five minutes without removing cover. Turn off heat and let sit five more minutes, again without removing cover.
- Move chicken to a cutting board to cool.
- Once cool, cut into half inch size pieces by cutting into strips then across the strips into pieces. Place in a bowl and toss with ½ cup of the pesto. Set aside.
- Place milk and cream in a sauce pan and heat to hot. Keep on low flame.
- In a large sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat then add flour and cook for three minutes, stirring often.
- Whisk in one third of the milk mixture with a wire whisk and stir briskly to form a thick paste. Add another third and whisk that in. Finally add the remaining third and whisk to form a smooth sauce.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, dry mustard and nutmeg. Stir to combine then remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a 9X13 inch pan, spread one cup of sauce on the bottom and line with three lasagna noodles.
- Place all of the chicken and pesto mixture on top and cover with about five provolone slices. (enough to cover the surface, overlapping is fine)
- Cover with four more lasagna noodles (three the long way and one trimmed to fit the short way.
- Pour the spinach mixture on top, including any liquid collected in bowl.
- Top with one cup of sauce then four more lasagna noodles.
- Spread on the ricotta mixture then top with five lasagna noodles, overlapping four the long way and one trimmed to fit the short way.
- Top with one more cup of sauce and about eight slices of overlapping provolone cheese.
- Cover with parchment and foil and bake for 40 minutes covered and ten minutes uncovered.
- Place under broiler for a minute or two to slightly brown the cheese. Let sit for ten minutes before cutting.
- Place the remaining white sauce in a small sauce pan and heat to hot. Then off heat, whisk in the remaining pesto and serve with the lasagna.
- Cut into 8, 10 or 12 pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and any visible strings. Place the two halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake until soft, about 45 minutes.
- In the meantime, coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the kale and chicken and cook down, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and turn off the heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and the cooked kale mixture. Stir until well combined and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then spread half of the cooked spaghetti squash on top. Top with half of the ricotta mixture followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers once more, ending with a layer of sauce; sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake until it is hot and the cheese is melted, bubbling and slightly browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then top with basil, if using, and serve.

- First you will cook the spaghetti squash. I wrote a whole blog post on how to make spaghetti squash! (My favorite way is in the oven or Instant Pot, see notes).
- While the spaghetti squash is cooking you can make the pesto. In a food processor or powerful blender, mix all of the ingredients for the avocado pesto together until smooth. Adjust olive oil and seasonings to your preference.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, white onion and the sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sausage is cooked and onion is soft.

- To prevent sticking, rub the rim of the squash's flesh with a teeny bit of olive oil or simply place a little water inside your baking dish. Both work great!
