How to Make a Gluten Free Zucchini Noodle Lasagna

Posted by sarah Maughan on Oct 17, 2013 in How To's, Lunch & Dinner, Whole Food Recipes | 2 comments

This is a fun recipe. I have to say when I first made this, I’d never actually made a glutinous or even a gluten-free lasagna recipe that used real noodles. I had no idea what I was getting into but hey it worked!

You can also make a lentil filling – so this dish is great for families who have gluten-free and vegetarian needs to work around.

You can prep it all at the same time and freeze an extras so next week you’re just defrosting in the oven and not preparing anything for your family with different nutrition requirements. Easy! One day, I took pictures of the process because I remember my first time attempting it and just looking at the recipe scared me. Since it turned out to be quite easy I figured the visuals would help decrease the anxiety for others. So give it shot! A lasagna without noodles, who would have thought.
