Vegetarian Beef Lasagna

Total time1 hr 45 min

Prep time30 min

Cook time1 hr

Layers of tender noodles get bathed in a rich, herby tomato sauce and a silky, nutmeg-kissed béchamel, then blanketed in Parmesan and mozzarella that turn deep golden and bubbling in the oven. Scallion greens add a mellow bite to the sauce, while a slow simmer with oregano and basil builds real depth before anything ever hits the baking dish. The result is a bubbling, cheese-crowned casserole with clean, distinct layers that hold their shape once it rests and gets sliced. Torn fresh basil scattered over the top finishes it with a bright, fragrant note right before serving. This one bakes up into serious comfort food, and it's a satisfying centerpiece for a vegetarian table.

4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
1 ½ lb lean ground beef
Chef's tip
Pick the form that matches the recipe - a raw, moldable ground for patties, meatballs, or meatloaf; crumbles only for loose browned meat. Cook it in the recipe like the meat, checking doneness against the package guidance.
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried oregano
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
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
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.
2
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.
