I posted a recipe for homemade pasta/pelmini (russian ravioli) in December. I'm sorry I can't figure out how to link to it. If you do a search for "Homemade pasta" or "Pelmini" you should find it easily. This dough works great for making ravioli, so it should work for lasagne too. I have served it to gluten eating people and they have liked it too.

Good luck!

liz, if i make lasagna noodles, do i cook them first, or can i just lay them over the meat and sauce since they are already so pliable? if i didn't cook them first, would i add extra liquid like i would with regular uncooked (dry) noodles?

Don't precook them or add extra water. Just layer them like regular noodles. They'll be plenty moist already. They shouldn't be too hard to work with. Make sure you don't skimp on the xanthan gum, but don't overdo it either. Let me know how it works! I've made the dough into pelmini (ravioli) and boiled noodles with butter, but not lasagne yet.

Good luck!

Pelmini is very similar to perogy. You can make it with the same dough. I'm sorry I can't figure out how to post a link, but do a search for Pelmini or perogy and it will come up. Very simple dough.
