YUMMY squash lasagna. It's kid friendly, I promise!

As I post recipes you'll notice that I often say things like "a handful" or "about ____ amount". I find that recipes tend to always bend to your own family a little better when you don't feel like you have to stick to a strict recipe, rather a guideline.

Here is an amazing fall recipe my family, and KIDS, love. We always use organic ingredients for this one. Sometimes I will use a gmo or non-organic squash, as it's all I have available. I see this as better than if I bought a jar of sauce for lasagna. Despite it not being "the best" I can feed my family, It's still a strong second.

What you'll need:
a medium sized summer squash (the orange-ish ones that look a little falic)
half a medium sized onion (give or take. If your family LOVES onion, by all means, use the whole thing. If you don't like them, don't use them)
About 4 cloves garlic (fresh is always best, and we use 5 or 6 in our house, as we LOVE LOVE LOVE garlic around here)
a couple tablespoons olive oil (if you want to get super healthy you can use coconut oil)
one box lasagna noodles (we love organic ones)
a giant bag of cheese (2 packages of 2 cup bags will suffice. I just REALLY like cheese.)

Preheat your oven to 350*

Take your squash and manhandle that thing. It's a beast to cut up, but worth the effort. Skin it first. Then cut in half. Dig out those seeds and cut the flesh into bite sized pieces.

Dice up your onions and garlic and throw those into a pan with your oil and squash. Fry it all up until that squash is mushy. You want it good and smooshy to be sure your sauce tastes right. Trust me, if it's not, it won't be that good.

Put your cooked goodness into a food processor. (a blender will work just fine, if it's all you have.) If it's too thick add some water to it. We have to do a couple rounds and dump them into a big bowl, as my food processor isn't big enough. Just blend until it looks like a sauce. lol. If you like it chunkier, blend less time. We like it good and smooth here, so we frappe that shit.

Pour a layer of sauce into the bottom of your pan. then do noodles, a layer of cheese and another layer of sauce. Continue until you are out of ingredients. SMOTHER IN CHEESE! bake for about half hour, or until noodles are soft.
