![]() Now, many of us know that tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, an essential phytonutrient – and here are some tomato health tidbits for you. Tomatoes are one of the few foods that have more nutrient availability after they are cooked or processed in some way (and by processed I don’t mean concentrated, mixed with sugar and called ketchup). You can make loads of straight tomato puree and jar that up, or double or triple a batch of this sauce to enjoy a hearty meal on a day when dinner prep just isn’t going to happen. Given the abundance of tomatoes at the markets these days, this is an awesome way to preserve the season’s finest. Here I’ve broken the dairy-free lasagna recipe down for you. If you wanted to make this grain-free, you could easily swap the noodles for wide, flat thin slices of zucchini or butternut squash sliced lengthwise with a vegetable peeler. I used the Tinkyada gluten-free lasagna noodles and I used a simplified version of my grandmother’s tomato sauce. ![]() To keep the dairy out, I made a rich and creamy cashew ricotta. The final result is, however, very much worth it. Though lasagna itself is technically a one-potter, and we all love a good One Pot Wonder, there are a few steps here and it is a little labour intensive. ![]() Given that we’re strict on our gluten-free life and we’re strict about living a dairy-free life too, that would pretty much leave a lasagna that is really a plate of sauce. Place in a covered container and place in the fridge until ready to use. Since I met my husband he’s talked about how much he loves lasagna. Step 2: Next, place cashews, water, lemon juice/apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor/blender and blend until creamy. However I’m not there yet and this month has been a hustle fest of excitement with work and life, which means less time for torrenting about in the kitchen. I sometimes daydream of retiring and being the wife that has bread in the oven and a single malt ready to go for my good man (or more likely, some raw blueberry pancakes in the dehydrator and an elixir in the blender). ![]()
