Gluten Free Lasagna Recipe Without Boiling Noodles on the Stove

Gluten Free Lasagna with Bolognese Sauce

Over the years, I am often asked how to cook lasagna noodles without boiling them. Some people want a faster method, but most want to prevent breaking the noodles, while others just do not have a pot that is large enough. Using a large casserole dish, this method prevents breakage of the noodles which makes for a less stressful recipe and a large pot is not needed, just a long casserole dish. This method saves a little time because it doesn’t take as long to boil 2 quarts of water compared to a stock pot full of water. Meanwhile, I hope you find this method useful.

Gluten Free Bread Recipe Without Flaxseed (Machine or Oven)

Gluten Free Bread Without Flaxseed

Over the years, many people have asked me what is a good substitute for flaxseed meal in bread. Up until now, I usually tell people to omit it if they have a problem with it or chia seeds. Well, in this new gluten free bread recipe, I tried a new substitute. It not only provides additional structure to the bread like flax does, but it creates a wonderful texture and flavor as well as adds moisture extending its freshness a little longer.
