Servings: persons

2 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, divided, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 (8 ounce) ball fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Arrange butternut squash slices in a single layer on each baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each layer; season each with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until squash is soft but still firm to the bite, about 15 minutes.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir beef and garlic until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain grease. Mix in remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, pasta sauce, brown sugar, basil, and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
5
Mix remaining 1 teaspoon salt, ricotta cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and parsley together in a bowl.
6
Layer 1/3 of the squash slices in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover squash with 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/3 of the beef mixture. Repeat layers, ending with remaining squash slices and sauce. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses are melted and sauce is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
