This is my version of a Paleo lasagna recipe I found. The difference in this from a traditional lasagna is that the pasta and ricotta layers have been replaced. I have yet to find someone that wasn't truly astonished by how flavorful this is.

Ingredients

1 hour
8 servings
  1. 1st Layer
  2. 1 lbZucchini shredded
  3. 1 cupCoconut flour
  4. 1Egg
  5. 1 tspSea salt
  6. 1/4 cupShredded Parmesan cheese
  7. Meat Layer
  8. 1 tbspOlive oil
  9. 1/2 cupOnion
  10. 1 lbMild ground Italian sausage
  11. 1 lbHot ground Italian sausage
  12. 1 tbspMinced garlic
  13. 1 canStewed tomatoes diced
  14. 2 tbspTomato Paste
  15. 1 tbspItalian seasoning
  16. Cheese Layer
  17. 1 1/2 cupShredded mozzarella
  18. 1/4Shredded Parmesan

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325

  2. 2

    Shred fresh zucchini.

  3. 3

    Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen tea towel. (Don't use a terry-cloth towel unless you like lint in your food!) Wrap the towel around the zucchini and squeeze by twisting the towel. Be sure to stand over the sink! This removes the excess moisture from the zucchini.

  4. 4

    Place zucchini in a large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients for the first layer and mix well. I like using my dough hook even though this will not be a true dough. A fork or your hands will do just fine.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and saute until translucent.

  6. 6

    Add sausage and garlic. Stir until browned.

  7. 7

    Add the rest of the Meat Layer ingredients and simmer on medium for 10 mins or so. Remove from heat.

  8. 8

    Grease a 13x9 glass dish. Add half of 1st Layer mixture and press with your hand or spoon until the layer touches the sides. Try to make the layer smooth and even, but don't worry if it isn't perfect. No one will know!

  9. 9

    OPTIONAL: This is a very most dish. If you wish you can bake the first layer for 10-15 minutes to eliminate some of that moisture. This will also create a firmer bottom (kind of crumbly though). If you choose this option, watch it carefully so it doesn't brown. This will greatly alter the taste of the coconut flour and make it taste too "dessert-like."

  10. 10

    Spoon half of the Meat Layer over the 1st Layer. Spread it out to all four sides like the other layer.

  11. 11

    Sprinkle half of the Cheese Layer over the Meat Layer.

  12. 12

    Repeat the layers

  13. 13

    Place in the oven and cook until the cheese bubbles and starts to brown. (Approx 15-20 mins)

  14. 14

    Remove from the oven and allow 5-10 minutes for it to "set up."

  15. 15

    Serve with a nice salad or my fav: Roasted Brussels Sprouts
