This lasagne is legendary in my family. My mom has been making it as long as I can remember and every time someone outside the family tries it, they love it and it becomes a staple in their household as well. Ive altered it ever so slightly to suit my personal tastes and dietary needs, but its ultimately my moms recipe and its the BEST LASAGNE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!
Lasagna, or lasagne as the Italians spell it, is the ultimate comfort food. The meaty sauce, the noodles, the creamy white sauce, and the melty, gooey cheese all scream warm hug on a cool day.
make the Gluten-Free Lasagna noodles
- Mix flour blend, tapioca starch, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine.
- Add eggs, egg yolks, and olive oil and pulse again to combine. Slowly drizzle in water just until dough starts to come together on top of the blade.
- Knead dough until smooth on floured surface and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow to hydrate for 30 minutes.
- Youll only need half the dough for this recipe, so rewrap the other half and place in the fridge for another use. Flatten half the dough into about ¼-inch thick. Run it through a pasta sheeter 2-3 times on the 1st setting to smooth it out, folding it over itself before putting it back through. Turn the knob to the 2nd setting and run it through once, then the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, or to as thin as youd like (I stop after one time on setting 5). Alternatively, roll the dough on a well-floured surface with a rolling pin to desired thinness.
- Cut lasagne sheets so they will fit into a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish.
how to make gluten free lasagne from scratch
- Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage in olive oil in large Dutch oven. Drain any grease from the browned meats and add them back to the pan.
- Add the garlic and marrow bone and saute just until fragrant (dont toast the garlic).
- Add the tomato paste and saute with the meats until thick and fragrant.
- Pour in the red wine and deglaze, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the tomato sauce, water, oregano, thyme, basil, and sugar and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer, cover with a slightly askew lid, and simmer until reduced and thickened, 3-4 hours.

Prep the noodles: Cook the gluten-free lasagna noodles for two minutes less than instructed. Layer the lasagna: Start with a scoop of meat sauce at the bottom of a 9×13” baking dish.

How long do you cook lasagna in the freezer?
Remove the lasagna’s freezer wrappings, cover the top with new foil and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until heated through (a thermometer inserted in the center should read 165°). Remove the foil and bake the lasagna for 10 more minutes or so to brown the top.
