Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (10 to 12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the sausage and cook over medium-low heat, breaking it up with a fork, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat, for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened.
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with the hottest tap water. Add the noodles and allow them to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, goat cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan, the egg, the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Ladle 1/3 of the sauce into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch rectangular baking dish, spreading the sauce over the bottom of the dish. Then add the layers as follows: half the pasta, half the mozzarella, half the ricotta, and one 1/3 of the sauce. Add the rest of the pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, and finally, sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling.

Add a pasta sheet, 1/3 of the mozzarella, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the spinach mixture, and another 1/4 of the turkey mixture. Repeat process two more times; top with remaining sheet of pasta. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over top. Line a piece of aluminum foil with parchment paper; spray parchment with nonstick cooking spray. Cover lasagna with prepared aluminum foil, parchment-side down, and transfer to oven. Bake until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let stand about 5 minutes before cutting; serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Stir in Parmesan cheese just until melted. Remove from the heat; set aside. , In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Add the garlic, oregano, marjoram and fennel; cook 1 minute longer. , Add roasted peppers and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons. Remove from the heat; set aside. , In a small bowl, combine the spinach, cottage cheese and nutmeg. Spread 1/2 cup cheese sauce in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with 3 noodles, half of the sausage mixture, half of the spinach mixture and 1 cup sauce; repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese., Cover and bake at 375° for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until heated through and top is lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine the 2 cups mozzarella, 2 cups ricotta, basil, pepper, and egg whites (you can use egg substitute or a whole egg if you prefer -- I used 100% all egg whites from a carton) and set aside.
• Spray non-stick skillet (I use cast iron) with oil and saute minced garlic until brown.
• Add diced onion and saute until browned or translucent.
• Add ground turkey and saute until browned, being careful to separate the meat into crumbled bits or they will clump into large chunks.
• Add spinach and saute briefly, stirring to combine all ingredients.
• Add spaghetti sauce and water and stir. (I used the 1/2 cup of water I squeezed out of the spinach as part of the 1-1/2 cups, and I filled the empty jar of Whole Food Foods organic fat-free pasta sauce with the other cup of water to get every last bit of sauce out.)
• Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. (Cover to retain the moisture which you will need for the unbaked noodles later.).
• In a 13 x 9 nonstick baking pan, spread about 1 cup of the turkey spinach mixture over the bottom, being sure to cover all of the bottom to prevent the noddles from sticking. Use a little more sauce if necessary.
• Spread 3 lasagna noodles over the mixture, leaving a little space between each noodle for it to expand during cooking. (If you don't, you will wind up having little "hills" along the seams, like mine.).
• Top noodles with 1-1/2 cups turkey spinach mixture, covering all of the dry noodles, and then top the sauce with half of the cheese mixture.
• Cover with noodles, and repeat until ending with a turkey sauce layer. (I wound up with 3 layers of noodles, and some extra cheese sauce, which I dotted around the edges.).
• Cover with foil and cook in oven for 50 minutes. (If you use no-boil, oven-ready lasagna noodles, you can probably cut out at least 15 minutes of baking time.).
• Take out, uncover, and sprinkle last cup of mozzarella over top.
• Bake for another 10 minutes (or longer if you like your cheese brown and crunchy -- in which case, feel free to shorten the covered baking time correspondingly).
• Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the turkey into small pieces into the skillet; cook and stir until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup parsley into the turkey mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches a desired consistency, 60 to 90 minutes.

Sprinkle about half of the butternut squash over the ricotta cheese mixture. Layer about half the wilted spinach over the butternut squash. Lay about half the zucchini slices over the spinach in a layer. Repeat the layering. Top with the 3 remaining lasagna noodles. Spread any remaining ricotta cheese mixture over the top of the lasagna. Finish by topping with any remaining sauce mixture. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top of the lasagna. Return to oven and bake uncovered until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes more. Remove and allow the lasagna to rest 15 minutes before cutting to serve.
