Lactose-free lasagne
Instructions
Tip
Take your time to layer the lasagne sauces evenly and make sure to spread the meat sauce and white sauce to the edges to prevent the lasagne sheets from drying out when baked. This way you get the lovely tender texture.
Tip
It is also important to let the lactose-free lasagne rest for at least 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the oven. This allows the flavours to meld together perfectly. It also makes it easier to cut into neat slices and prevents eager eaters from burning themselves on the very hot dish.

For many people, lasagne is a dish that brings back fond memories of family gatherings, birthdays, and other special occasions. It is considered a classic comfort food that people often turn to when they want something warm and homely. Lactose-free lasagne too is a hearty and filling dish that provides comfort as well as satisfaction for everyone. It has the same great combination of flavours of pasta, meat sauce, white sauce, and cheese that people know and love.
Make a delicious lactose-free white sauce for lasagne
The Italian darling should be served with a thick sauce. A flavourful white sauce with cheese provides a lovely richness as well as a creamy texture. It is a key element and helps tie the different layers of the dish together.
By selecting great lactose-free products, it is easy to make a lactose-free white sauce for lasagne that is just as scrumptious as other cheese sauces. Milk, flour, and shredded cheese come together to create a creamy sauce filled with savoury goodness. Though it is thick, it is also smooth and has a great mouthfeel. When combined with the chunkier meat sauce it helps give the dish a velvety texture that makes eating it a dream.
The same flavoursome result in a lactose-free version
Like the regular ones, lactose-free lasagne perfectly combines pasta, meat sauce, and cheese sauce, creating a delicious and harmonious blend of flavours. The layers of lasagne sheets, sauce, and cheese meld together when baked, resulting in a dish that is rich, savoury, and flavourful.
The meat sauce is packed with great umami flavour and has a lot of depth. Onions, garlic, minced beef, oregano, and diced tomatoes come together to create the sweet, savoury, and tangy backbone of the dish and the combination of flavours is distinctly Italian.

Make your own version
An easy way to experiment with our lactose-free lasagne recipe is to add slices of cooked vegetables in between the layers of sauces and pasta sheets. Some good options that taste great with a meat sauce with onions, oregano, and tomato are spinach, aubergine, leeks, and courgettes. But you can use any type of vegetable you prefer or vary the dish according to what produce is in season.
You can also play around with different herbs and spices to flavour the sauces. You can use either dry or fresh herbs, depending on your preferences. Tasty herb choices for lactose-free lasagne include basil, rosemary, and bay leaves. All three are popular in Italian cuisine and will bring something different to the meat sauce.
