Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with 1 Tablespoon salt, and add gluten-free lasagna noodles. Parboil according to package directions (e.g., 5 minutes for Jovial brand), stirring often to prevent sticking. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion or shallot, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Brown beef, breaking it up as it cooks, then drain. Return beef mixture to the skillet, add marinara sauce, and stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, dried parsley flakes, pepper, and salt. Stir to combine. Scoop mixture into a gallon-size Ziplock bag and snip off one corner for easier application.
- Scoop 3/4 cup of the meat/sauce mixture into the bottom of the prepared 9x13
- Pipe 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture onto the noodles and spread into a thin layer. Spoon on 1/3 of the remaining meat/sauce mixture, spread evenly, and sprinkle on 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers two more times for a total of 3 layers.
- Cover the lasagna with a piece of nonstick sprayed foil then bake for 20 minutes. Carefully uncover then continue to bake until deep golden brown and bubbly, 20-25 additional minutes.
- Let lasagna sit for 15-20 minutes then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- For the perfect internal temperature for the ground beef, ensure it reaches 160°F (71°C) before mixing with the marinara sauce.
- If your ricotta mixture seems too thick to pipe, add a tablespoon of milk to loosen it slightly, but avoid making it too runny.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For reheating, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until heated through, or microwave individual portions. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
