Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook Lasagna Noodles: Boil a large pot of salted water, add lasagna noodles, and cook until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and lay flat on a baking sheet to cool.
- Make Filling: In a bowl, combine mashed butternut squash, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and adjust consistency with remaining ricotta if necessary.
- Prepare Béchamel Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until golden. Gradually add warm milk while whisking continuously until thickened. Stir in sage, garlic, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread butternut squash filling on each lasagna noodle, sprinkle with mozzarella, and roll tightly. Arrange in a baking dish, seam side down.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon half of the béchamel sauce into the baking dish, place roll-ups on top, pour remaining béchamel over them, and add additional mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and black pepper. Fry sage leaves in neutral oil for garnish if desired. Serve warm.

Notes
Ensure filling consistency is creamy but not too runny; let cooked noodles cool to prevent sticking; always use fresh ingredients.
