I have to admit that I am addicted to pasta, which has made living a Gluten Free lifestyle a challenge. I have tried just about every brand of Gluten Free pasta on the market and there are defiantly some that are better than others. I typically lean toward multi-grain pastas for baked dishes as I find they tend to hold up better and not turn to mush. Multi-grain pastas are also great for slow cooker recipes.
This lasagna recipe is simple and easy to whip up for a weeknight dinner. This recipe also gets better with age, so day 2 and 3 are better than fresh out of the oven. After I make a dish of this lasagna I make lunch portions with the leftovers. One minute in the microwave and you are set for lunch.
When eating out Gluten Free I have not find lasagna. I have found ravioli, stuffed shells, baked ziti, chicken alfredo, spaghetti, but still no lasagna. Thus why this is my third Gluten Free lasagna recipe. A crowd favorite is my slow cooker lasagna recipe. It is the perfect dish for dinner guests.
If you wanted to take this recipe to the next level then add fresh veggies to the meat and sauce. I would suggest zucchini, olives, mushrooms, squash, or broccoli.
Here are some Gluten Free pasta brands that we enjoy:

Wondering if I need to cook the lasagna noodles first?
Nope! Just place them in the dish as described uncooked. They will cook in all the yummy sauce!
Have you tried Tinkyada brand pasta? They have nearly all the different noodles including lasagna noodles.
YES! The pasta is very good! I find is doesn’t hold up as well when baked since it it just rice flour but it is great boiled.
Hi!
I just made this for family dinner. And I have a couple of questions. I ended up just winging it. Where does the meat fit in? And what is the sauce “mixture?” Thanks!
Hey!
The meat goes with the red tomato sauce, what I call the “sauce mixture”. Hope that helps!
Looks delicious! Did I miss something? I don’t see an amount on how many noodles to use. One small package?
One package is enough. I normally never use a whole box.
Thank you! Can’t wait to try it!
I tried this today and it’s absolutely delicious. 5 stars

WOOHOO! Success! So happy to hear you loved it. It is a favorite in our home.
Terrible instructions you just stopped with the meat and never mentioned what to do with it. Are you making your own sauce? Combining meat with jarred tomato?
I don’t see noodles on the recipe list. Otherwise I’d like to try it.
Updated! Thanks!
In the recipe instructions, it says, ‘start your layers: noodles, cheese, sauce…’. Where does the meat go??? Sorry, I have never made lasagna and this is not clear to me.
Did you cook the garlic in with the onions?
Yes and the meat.
Has anyone tried this with just a little additional sauce?
I had added a can of tomato sauce before. It makes it yummy!
