Paleo Lasagna
- 1 lb Zucchini shredded
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 cup Onion
- 1 lb Mild ground Italian sausage
- 1 lb Hot ground Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 can Stewed tomatoes diced
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 Shredded Parmesan
- Preheat oven to 325
- Shred fresh zucchini.
- 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.
- 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.
- Heat oil in a large skillet.
- Add onions and saute until translucent.
- Add sausage and garlic.
- Stir until browned.
- Add the rest of the Meat Layer ingredients and simmer on medium for 10 mins or so.
- Remove from heat.
- 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!
- 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."
- Spoon half of the Meat Layer over the 1st Layer.
- Spread it out to all four sides like the other layer.
- Sprinkle half of the Cheese Layer over the Meat Layer.
- Repeat the layers
- Place in the oven and cook until the cheese bubbles and starts to brown.
- (Approx 15-20 mins)
- Remove from the oven and allow 5-10 minutes for it to "set up."
- Serve with a nice salad or my fav: Roasted Brussels Sprouts
