Ingredients
• 1 pound Lasagne, uncooked
• 2 tbsp. margarine
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 1-pound butternut squash, peeled and diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced

Preheat oven to 350° F. Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add onion, squash and carrots. Cook the vegetables over low heat until very soft. Stir in flour with a wooden spoon. Gradually stir in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir in raisins, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside 1 cup.

Continue to layer sauce, provolone and lasagne, ending with a layer of sauce. Sprinkle top with Parmesan and nuts. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes until nicely browned and heated through.
