gluten and dairy free lasagna
Cook gluten free lasagna noodles in a stock pot according to package directions. Note that when planning to bake in the oven the time is slightly shorter. Rinse and drain in a strainer.






Dice the onion and peppers. Set aside.






Brown the ground beef and garlic in a skillet. Add the onion and peppers. continue cooking until the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes more.

Drain the artichokes and cut in half lengthwise to separate the "leaves". Set aside.





Prepare your baking pan by spraying the bottom with non-stick cooking spray.








Spread 1/3 of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan. 

Layer 1/2 of the cooked noodles over the sauce.





Dab and spread the almond paste onto the noodles. This lends a creamy texture to the dairy free lasagna.







Place a layer of fresh spinach leaves on top.










Place 1/2 of the artichoke leaves in the next layer. They also add a creamy texture to the lasagna.






Put 1/2 of the ground beef mixture on top.


Spread 1/3 of the marinara sauce over the ground beef.



Repeat the above: noodles (use the rest of them here), almond paste, spinach, artichoke, ground beef and finish with the rest of the marinara sauce.

Cook in a preheated oven for one hour at 350 degrees. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top for lactose tolerant family or guests if desired.
  • Assembled lasagna can be refrigerated or frozen until ready to bake. Add a few minutes baking time to ensure the center is heated through. Thaw frozen lasagna before baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated or frozen for later use.
  • Frozen chopped spinach can be used in place of fresh.
