Lazy Lasagna Beef, Pork & Lamb, Main, Meatless Mains This scrumptious dairy-free, gluten-free lasagna recipe is a breeze to make, with readymade marinara and no-boil noodles. Try it vegetarian or with grass-fed beef. Prep: 20 mins Cook: 55 mins Ingredients 16 oz. grass-fed ground beef 1 tsp organic Italian seasoning herb blend 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste) 2 tbsp avocado oil 2 cups sliced baby bellas or crimini mushrooms 6 oz. organic fresh baby spinach, rinsed and dried 12 oz. gluten-free lasagna noodles (I use Cappello’s fresh noodles) 16 oz. almond ricotta cheese (I love Kite Hill) 36 oz. organic marinara sauce (no sugar added) Directions 1Preheat oven to 350°F. 2For the meat filling, crumble and saute the grass-fed beef over medium heat until brown and cooked through. Drain and set aside. 3In a saute pan, cook the sliced mushrooms in the avocado oil over medium heat until tender and glistening. 4Add the cooked beef back to the pan with the mushrooms, along with the Italian seasoning, sea salt, crushed red pepper, and 24 ounces of the marinara. Stir well to combine. 5To assemble the lasagna, spread 6 ounces of marinara across the bottom of a 9”x13” pan. Layer 3 lasagna sheet noodles across lengthwise. (They will overlap.) Layer on half of the meat filling, 6 ounces of the almond ricotta cheese dropped in small bits, and 3 ounces of the spinach. Repeat with 3 more noodle sheets, the remaining half of the meat filling, 6 more ounces of ricotta, and the remaining spinach. Top with a final layer of noodles, 6 ounces of marinara, and the remaining almond ricotta cheese. 6Tent with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 5 minutes more, then serve. (Note: this cook time applies to fresh pasta. If you're using dry no-cook noodles, you will need to cook your lasagna longer. Please consult the package for the recommended cook time for your noodles.) 7For vegetarian lasagna, replace the ground beef with one chopped onion and 2 chopped red bell peppers. Saute veggies along with mushrooms until tender and assemble as directed above.
