Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350ºF.

Beef + Marinara Layer:

  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add in the ground beef and break it up. I love using a potato masher. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is almost cooked through. Then add the marinara sauce. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Taste, and season with kosher salt if needed.

Veggie Layer:

  • While cooking the beef and marinara sauce, also heat another cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ghee, zucchini, mushrooms and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes until the veggies are soft and getting caramelized. Add the chopped spinach and cook another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Assemble Lasagna:

  • In your baking dish, layer the lasagna in this order -
  • 1 cup beef + marinara
    even layer of hearts of palm lasagna noodles
    3/4 cup dairy free ricotta, spread in an even layer
    1/2 of the veggie mixture
    1-1/4 cup beef + marinara sauce
    even layer of hearts of palm lasagna noodles
    3/4 cup dairy free ricotta, spread in an even layer
    remaining 1/2 of the veggie mixture
    remaining beef + marinara sauce
    dollop on top remaining dairy free ricotta
  • Cover, and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Slice and serve warm.
  • Leftovers will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for at least 5 days, or frozen for at least 6 months.
  • As always, lots of tips, FAQs and substitution info in the Recipe Notes below!

Notes

Beef: I love my Butcherbox 100% grass-fed grass-finished ground beef. It is 85% lean. You could also use ground italian sausage, ground pork, ground turkey, etc.
Marinara Sauce: If I have it, my sheet pan marinara sauce is the best, especially made with summer tomatoes. But any marinara sauce will work. My favorite store bought is Rao's.
Lasagna Noodles: Natural Heaven hearts of palm lasagna noodles are my favorite to use, so convenient and low carb! You could also use zucchini lasagna noodles, like I do in this zucchini noodle lasagna.
Reheating: You can microwave this to reheat! Usually about 3-5 minutes. It doesn't alter the dairy free ricotta much at all!
Freezing: You can freeze this! I tested it, and it freezes and thaws wonderfully. The dairy free ricotta dolloped on top was a bit "firmer" after thawing and reheating, but still edible and delicious!
