Gluten Free Lasagna W/ Homemade Tomato Sauce

[Guest Madame Weird]

Hallo,

I'm sure this recipe may or may not have been posted before but I thought I would share the lasagna recipe I made for my bf and myself last night. My bf is not gluten intolerant and yet he ate 5 pieces of it! So it definitely tastes pretty good. Try it out and see if you like it. Its a bit time consuming but worth the effort.

Lasagna

Sauce

2 28 oz cans of whole peeled organic plum tomatoes

1/4 cup sherry vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon dried oregano

olive oil

5 - 6 leaves of fresh basil, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 medium white onion

1/2 cup white wine

Salt and pepper to taste

1 box of gluten free lasagna white rice noodles

1 lb of ground pork, beef or turkey

1 egg

2 16 oz containers of low fat or fat free ricotta cheese (Polly O)

1 8oz package of Horizon brand mozzarella cheese

In a sieve over a medium non-reactive saucepot, strain the tomatoes of their juice into a sauce pot; squeeze tomatoes to seed them (seeds make sauce bitter). Add the sherry vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil to the tomato juice. Stir and cook over high heat. Once bubbles begin to form on the surface, reduce to a simmer. Allow liquid to reduce by 1/2 or until liquid has thickened and darkened to a loose syrup consistency (about 30 - 45 minutes).

Add a little olive oil to a frying pan and allow diced onions and garlic to sweat in frying pan on low heat for 15 minutes or until onions are transparent. Do not saut

I made lasagna tonight, but cheated and didn't do the full blown recipe like you did. I used some classico sghetti sauce Didn't cook the noodles before putting the lasagna together either. Then for the cheese mixture I used 1/2 ricotta and 1/2 cottage cheese 2 eggs 1/4 c parmasan some italian seasonings.

It was very good and I was impressed how easy it was to make. I had never made lasagna before!!

Lasagna is great and so satisfying. I've only been eating gluten free for a few months and I've been concocting recipes to satisfy my cravings for sweets and such. It definitely takes some getting used to since most of what I eat has to be made at home. I have a great recipe for gluten-free cheesecake I will post tomorrow.
