How to Make Gluten Free Lasagna in 5 Easy Steps
Here’s what you can expect when you make homemade gluten free lasagna:
One. Make the meat sauce.
Two. Make the ricotta mixture.
Three. Layer according to the recipe instructions/desired.
Four. Cover with foil and bake.
Five. Let rest before serving.
How Long Do You Cook Gluten Free Lasagna?
The assembled lasagna should take about 50 minutes to cook in an oven preheated to 375 degrees F. Cover it with foil for the first 25 minutes, then let it cook uncovered for the final 25 minutes.
Also, it’s important to let rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before you cut into it. This will help hold in all that delicious flavour.
Can you Freeze Gluten Free Lasagna?
If you’re planning to freeze, it’s best to cook it in a foil baking dish. Allow the casserole to cool, then cover the whole thing in at least one layer of storage wrap. Wrap it again in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to three months.
How to Reheat Gluten Free Lasagna
The best way to reheat is in the oven. Simply cover the leftovers with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for about half an hour, or until it’s heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
When reheating from frozen, thaw from frozen in the refrigerator overnight, then follow the reheating instructions above. If you don’t have time to thaw in the fridge, you can reheat it from frozen — just make sure to add a few minutes to the cook time to ensure it is heated through.
Don’t normally comment but this was a great recipe. Love how simple it was to customize. Not a major spinach fan, but with all the meat & cheese. A win. Used Catelli gluten free lasagna noodles – worked great.
It is meaty. It is cheesey. It hides vegetables that the littles make a fuss about. Sadly, the lasagna noodles we tried were terrible the first time. Second time using Catelli brand though, perfect.
Thank you for this delicious lasagna recipe. I made it over the weekend and my whole family loved it. It came out perfect! God Bless You!
Your lasagna looks and tastes amazing! Great flavors in this classic dish. I think homemade gluten free lasagna beats store bought every time. So good!
Made this and it turned out delicious! Used gluten free jarred marinara bc I was short on time. Used double the parm and mozzarella cheese and it was perfect! Also added fresh herbs from the garden to the skim ricotta and egg mixture.
A great gluten free lasagna! Simple too. Lasagna always intimated me, but not now. Thanks Gluten Free Journey! 5 stars!

Love this gluten free dish. Tried it today. Only difference I did was I used 2lb of ground beef. We like alot of meat in ours. Same results. Absolutely will cook this again.
Easy to follow recipe with delicious results!!! Made a small tweak by adding one medium carrot to help cut some of the acidity. Not a necessary step, just a personal preference 🙂
