Lasagna


This is the first recipe I've posted where you'll have to go to a health-food store to get a particular gluten-free ingredient. However, SOME grocery stores have gluten-free sections and may carry it so make sure to check when you're doing your regular shopping!

Ingredients:
-1 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed or ground beef
-1 pint ricotta cheese
-1 egg, lightly beaten
-1/2 tsp dried basil
-1/2 tsp. dried thyme
-1/2 tsp. dried oregeno
-1/2 tsp. garlic powder
-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
-12 gluten free lasagna noodles (TINKYADA or DEBOLES makes gluten free rice lasagna noodles; you can find these in the pasta section of your health food store [Whole Foods, etc])
-3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
-1 jar pasta sauce (PREGO, RAGU, BERTOLI, and BARILLA are gluten free)
Directions

Cook lasagna noodles according to package (about 2 minutes less since you'll be baking them too)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook meat and drain.

In a small bowl, combine ricotta, egg, basil, thyme, garlic powder, oregano, and half the shredded mozzarella. Mix well, and set aside.

Coat the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with a little of the spaghetti sauce. Place three noodles in the bottom of the pan. Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture, a layer of meat, and a layer of spaghetti sauce over noodles. Repeat two more times. Top with the reserved mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, remove foil and bake additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
