3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 medium sweet potatoes, washed
1 small butternut squash, halved, seeded
1 small sugar pumpkin, halved, seeded
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Twelve 6-inch-square fresh lasagna noodles, or 12 extra-wide dry lasagna noodles

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat 2-quart souffle dish with olive oil. Cover 2 large baking sheets with foil. Lay potatoes on 1 foil-lined baking sheet.
