This is a twist on the lasagne from Lessons In Chemistry. If you’re a meat eater, go to the webpage and use her recipe directly – I’m told it’s amazing.
Sauce
Sautée:
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves (I like more)
- 1 Tbsp fresh oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 small cans tomato paste
- 2 cups milk
Add one at a time and then simmer:
- 2 small cans tomato paste
- 2 cups milk
Chop veggies of choice (small) – sauté lightly then add to the sauce. I like zucchini, yellow squash, red onions & broccoli.
Ricotta Bolognese
In sauce pan:
- 5 Tbsp butter – melt then add
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
When it thickened, add:
- 1 cup whole milk (recipe calls for 3 cups, I think it’s waaaay too much)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 15oz container ricotta cheese
Grain Free Pasta
- 8 egg yolks
- 2 c almond flour
- 8 tbsp lupin flour (or green banana flour – may need to add a little liquid)
- 2 tsp ground psyllium husk (or 4 tsp xanthan gum – gum sticks to the gut but is an effective binder)
Combine ingredients in a bowl. Dump onto work surface and fold over several times until dough is smooth. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Place dough on parchment sheet then cover with a second sheet. Roll dough to desired thickness. Cut into strips. (You may need more depending on your preference of pasta to filling ratio).
Other pasta options:
Cream cheese/almond flour (1 g carb – true keto!)
Assemble
Add a light layer of sauce on bottom.
Layer with pasta, veggies in sauce, bolognese.
On top layer, add a little sauce and beschemel then mozzarella and Parmesan.
