6 servings
For the meat sauce
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ lb lean ground beef
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the béchamel
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp gluten free flour
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
For assembly
- 12 gluten free lasagna noodles (oven-ready or boiled per package directions)
- 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, torn (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If using boil-required gluten-free lasagna noodles, cook them in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until just tender, then drain and lay flat on a lightly oiled sheet of parchment to prevent sticking. Skip this step if using oven-ready noodles.

Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallion green tops and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
