Equipment

  • large skillet
  • saucepan
  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients
  

Meat & Veggie Layer

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 cups spinach or kale chopped
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken leftover rotisserie works great
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp thyme

Dairy-Free Béchamel

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or ghee
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free flour
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond or oat milk
  • 0.25 tsp nutmeg
  • salt and white pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 9–12 gluten-free lasagna noodles
  • 1.5 cups dairy-free mozzarella or cheese alternative
  • fresh basil optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook gluten-free noodles according to package. Drain and lay on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Add zucchini and bell pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in greens to wilt, then add chicken, herbs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil or ghee. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Let thicken, then season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 dish, spread béchamel. Layer noodles, chicken-veggie mixture, béchamel, and cheese. Repeat 3 layers, ending with cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes until golden. Rest 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with basil if desired.

Notes

Choose a dairy-free cheese that melts well, coconut or almond-based blends work great. Don’t overcook the noodles, and let the dish rest before slicing. You can assemble this lasagna up to a day in advance.
