Serves: 12
Ingredients:
1 box GF lasagna sheets
6 cups of water
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 white onion
1 clove garlic
1 tsp coriander
3/4 tsp mild chili powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
1 & 1/2 tsp salt
2 pinches of sugar
3/4 lb ground chicken thigh meat (optional)
2 cups chopped shitake mushrooms
1-2 cups homemade or natural, organic tomato sauce
1 tbsp butter
2 tsp cornstarch
1-2 cups milk
1 cup grated mozzarella or Monterrey jack cheese
black pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
Lasagna Sheets:
1. In a large pot, cook the lasagna sheets, adding a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp olive oil to the water.
Red Sauce (Meat Sauce):
1. In a separate pot over medium to high heat, add olive oil and onions. Let the onions cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add finely chopped garlic and mix. Once the onion and garlic is all cooked, add in the meat, break up the meat with your spatula. Add mushrooms, coriander, paprika, mild chili powder, salt, sugar, and meat. Stir and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the tomato sauce, stir all the ingredient and let it cook for 5 minutes. After it is done cooking turn off the heat.
White Sauce:
1. In a smaller pot over medium heat add the butter.
2. Add in cornstarch and stir, add in milk while stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2 - 3 minutes. Lower the heat to low and add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add cheese, once the cheese has melted in the white sauce turn off the heat.
Assembling:
1. Take the cooked lasagna sheets and line them on the bottom. Layer meat sauce on top and pat it flat, add the white sauce on top, then add another layer of lasagna sheets. Repeat this step until you are done with the meat sauce.
8. Top it off with more white sauce, sprinkle the top with cheese, cover with foil and bake it in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes or place it in the refrigerator and take it out and bake it when you are ready to cook.
9. Take out the lasagna, cut, plate it, and enjoy!
