Gluten Free Lasagna

Thank you, Barbara for another great gluten-free recipe!!

Tinkyada brand brown rice lasagna noodles (available at Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, most Trader Joe's and Shaw’s) have the best heft and chew of any gluten-free noodle I've tried. I think they come closest to conventional wheat pasta.

Salt and pepper, to taste
1 package (10 ounces) lasagna noodles
2 large containers (16 ounces each) fresh ricotta
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
6 cups marinara sauce (or more to taste), bought or homemade - store bought is always gluten free regardless of brand
16 ounces shredded mozzarella

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees Have on hand a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook them according to package directions, under cooking them by 2 minutes. Drain well.

3. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, pepper, parsley, and eggs. Stir well.

4. In the baking dish, spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce to cover the bottom. Add a layer of noodles, overlapping them slightly to make a solid single layer. Dot with half the ricotta mixture, spreading it evenly.

5. Add another layer of the sauce and sprinkle generously with half the mozzarella. Repeat the layers, ending with sauce and mozzarella.
