Add sage, wine and stock. Season well with salt and pepper, cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes or until the squash is tender. Drain off any excess liquid and reserve.

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Lay the lasagne sheets out on a work surface and divide the squash mixture evenly placing it in a line at the end of each sheet of lasagne. Now roll up each sheet of lasagne to make a neat cannelloni roll then place seam side down in a greased ovenproof dish.
