Why am I making a gluten free lasagna, well a friend of Mr CLI's has a son that is gluten free and she was going to have a minor surgery last week so I volunteered to make something soft for her to eat.Mr CLI suggested lasagna and his friends son jumped with joy. lol
So off to Woolworth's I went last week to look for gluten free lasagna sheets.
The only brand they had was Orgran, it wasn't till I came home and looked at the box that I realised they were mini sheets.
I searched on the internet to see what in my lasagna recipe I couldn't use, it turned out that I couldn't use flour in my bechamel sauce, so I used cornflour instead. Now beware even though it reads cornflour on the packet check the label on the back because not all cornflour's are from corn some have what they call " wheaten corn" what ever that is !
Also if you use bought pasta sauces, which I don't to use in your bolognese sauce, you must make sure that they don't have any wheat products, as you don't know what there thickener is these sauces I would be very cautious of using them.
So what was the end result like, well it was rich in tomato and was covered in a very cheesy sauce on top.
After Mr CLI dropped it off, he received a text message to say that the lasagna was yummy, so mission accomplished.
Recipe for lasagna below, substitute cornflour for plain flour you may need extra to get the bechamel to thicken.
