Dairy/Lactose-Free Lasagne
Gosh I love making lasagne! It’s a lot of work and takes a lot of time but the reward at the end is just fabulous. Tastier, fresher and less salty than the versions you can buy in a supermarket, and you’re totally in control of the ingredients. Don’t like carrots? Leave them out. Love mushrooms? Add as many as you want. You can even get creative with the filling, as I have done in the past myself. If you want to try something different, have a look at my Meat-free lasagne with four beans, spinach & chestnut mushrooms and a cheese béchamel sauce or my Spinach and ricotta lasagne with mozzarella.
I made this lasagne lactose free, as it was created during an Instagram partnership with Avonmore, but you can of course use normal milk & cheese if you have no lactose issues. The quantities will remain the same whether you use lactose free ingredients or not. You can also make it fully dairy-free by using dairy-free alternatives.
As part of my Instagram campaign I made a live video of my recipe as well, I’ve added the video here -it’s really not the best camerawork as I was holding my phone in one hand and cooking with the other, but it might be useful to some people I hope.
