I love a great piece of lasagna. However, it doesn’t love me back. So I set out to make a delicious grain free lasagna that tastes amazing and was good for me too! This lasagna is so good you won’t even miss the traditional noodles that usually accompanies lasagna. As most of you know, I try my best to cook in season. I have a delicious summer lasagna recipe made out of zucchini and eggplant that I posted this past summer, but this Lasagna is my winter lasagna recipe. It is much easier for me to get spinach and mushrooms in the winter. So why not make a delicious plate of lasagna, this recipe will not disappoint!

January 2, 2012 at 12:46 pmI did try that recipe last year and loved it! The first time I used both the eggplant and the zucchini, but felt there were too many “noodles” for my taste, so the next time I used just the eggplant. I really like this idea! A comfort food without the grains! Whoo Hoo! I use my family recipe for the meat sauce, so I had to redo the macronutrients, but it was very close to yours. This is a real hit. My very favorite of all your recipes, though, is the mini carrot cakes. We make them as muffins (without the frosting), add a handful of raisins instead. FABULOUS! All my friends want us to make more and to share again.
