Gluten Free Meat Lasagne

Delicious and easy to make meat lasagne with a spicy tomato sauce!

Prep time: 25 minutes

Cooking time : 45 minutes

Serves 4 to 6 people

Gluten/ Soy Free

Meat, sausage, cheese, herbs, spices, and a spicy tomato sauce (Fra Diavolo Sauce) come together to create a delicious lasagne that satisfies everyone at the dinner table. And guess what? Nobody can tell it is 100% gluten free!

The great thing about lasagne is that you can make it to suit your dietary needs: either use a meat protein or a plant based protein...or make it vegetarian all the way. You can either make your own tomato sauce or use a store bought sauce. You can use mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesano, Pecorino Romano...or all of them.

Did I mention that the pasta used for this lasagne requires no prep at all? You just open the box, add it to the lasagne, and bake it! No boiling water required!

If you do not have the time to make the Fra Diavolo Sauce from scratch, that's ok! Just grab your favorite tomato sauce from the store and use that!

Let's make it!
