Lasagna – Dairy, Egg & Gluten Free

This is a very delicious and easy to make Lasagna – Dairy, Egg & Gluten Free. Serve it with a side of salad and gluten free garlic bread for a complete meal.

Which sauce to use in the Lasagna – Dairy, Egg & Gluten Free?

I use both white sauce and pasta sauce. I make dairy free white sauce at home or I even just use dairy free cheese in between layers when I feel lazy.

Type of meat for Lasagna – Dairy, Egg & Gluten Free

I used beef mince meat but you can use the meat of your choice or even use plant based mince. You can also use your favourite vegetables as the filling.

Making the lasagna dairy free

As mentioned above I use dairy free homemade white sauce. I use dairy free milk and dairy free cheese to make the sauce. Then for the top layer of the lasagna I used dairy free Cheddar style shreds. You can use any flavor you like.

Boil or not to boil the gluten free lasagna sheets

• Depending on my mood, I boil the lasagna sheets, just until they turn soft, so that when cooking in the oven they don’t stick out and burn.
• Another way of making the sheets soft is to soak the lasagna sheets in warm water for 15 minutes.
• If I don’t feel like going through the extra step of cooking the pasta, I make sure that I make extra sauce. Then I cover the top layer with enough sauce and cheese so that the sheets stay in place with the weight of both the sauce and cheese.

Baking the Lasagna

I bake the lasagna at 350 for 45 minutes. For the first 30 minutes, I bake the lasagna, covered with foil. Then for the last 15 minutes I bake it uncovered so that the cheese can turn golden.
