I made a gluten-free lasagne for dinner tonight. That is not particularly earth-shattering as I know that you can buy gluten-free pasta and I have used it on previous occasions. However, this time I was inspired by a Facebook post from a friend and decided to substitute the lasagne sheets with sliced zucchini.
I use a combination of potato flour and chickpea flour to make the bechamel sauce.
Here are all of the components prepared before I assembled the lasagne.
The last layer in place.
The zucchini did not provide as much support as lasagne sheets, therefore, the lasagne did not translate neatly in one piece onto the plate. The taste was excellent which means it was a success by my standards. I would definitely make this again with a few adjustments. I would make the meat sauce drier which I think would help in maintaining the shape. The zucchini could perhaps be sliced a little thicker. You could also make the serves in individual ramekins.
I’ll definitely be making this recipe this autumn–you know we’ve got loads of marrows, which should slice up nice and firm. 🙂
