Ingredients for 1 Pound Gluten Free Lasagna

  • 1 box (approximately 9-12 ounces) gluten-free lasagna noodles (DeBoles recommended)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Marinara Sauce
  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

How to Make 1 Pound Gluten Free Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook gluten-free lasagna noodles according to package directions. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the browned beef. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce (about 1 cup).
  6. Layer 3-4 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  7. Spread 1 cup of ricotta cheese over the noodles, followed by 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Top with 1/2 cup of thinly sliced zucchini.
  9. Repeat layers: meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and zucchini.
  10. Repeat step 8 one more time, ending with a layer of noodles.
  11. Pour the remaining meat sauce (about 1 cup) over the top layer of noodles.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
  13. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes.
  15. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  16. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
