Gluten Free Vegetarian Lasagna {Freezer Friendly}

Lasagna is a versatile dish that you can customize to your audience’s taste buds, allergies, and dietary needs. Have a vegetarian to feed? Forget the beef and mix in some vegetables of choice. Tip: use vegetables that aren’t too watery or sauté them before layering and baking the lasagna. What about a vegan? No sweat; use a vegan egg and vegan cheese instead of the regular stuff.

Lasagna preparers can even choose what type of sauce (e.g., red or white) to use, which can completely change the dynamic of the dish. There’s also the cheese to consider. Aside from vegan, there’s Parmesan, mozzarella (grated or shredded), ricotta, feta, and more. Another tip: some can be sensitive to the bold flavor and aroma of ricotta. If this is the case, substitute have of the ricotta for cottage cheese.

Last but not least, and certainly important for layering, is the noodle type. There’s gluten free, whole grain, no-bake (the list goes on). Let us not forget substituting the grain for a great layering vegetable like zucchini.

Lasagna is also a perfect meal to prep and freeze to provide for a family in need. This freezer-friendly vegetarian lasagna requires no boiling of noodles ahead of time, which is a big time saver and makes layering even easier. The noodles used are gluten free, but you can opt for another type of no-bake option. Also, feel free to use a hearty kale instead of spinach or add other vegetables, such as carrots or mushrooms. Just be sure to cook the carrots and mushrooms and let cool completely before adding them to the dish.
