Pasta is such a staple part of the average Western diet that it’s not always easy to find replacements. Standard gluten-free pasta tends to be made from corn and rice so aren’t paleo friendly. Cheese is even harder to recreate, due to its unique taste and texture.

Combining those two elements to make a paleo lasagna recipe might sound near impossible…and yet, it’s not! We’ve scoured our favorite paleo recipe sites for the tastiest, healthiest, and most authentic paleo lasagna recipes. That means that they’re all gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. It also means that they’re all packed with vegetables and tasty goodness!

These recipes get really inventive, substituting all kinds of ingredients in order to recreate pasta sheets and cheese, the paleo way. To these chefs, we take a bow!

Dairy-, Grain- & Tomato-less Lasagna

This recipe comes with such a rave review that it just has to be tried! And it’s a great one for those who like their lasagna sans tomato. You’ll have to buy a few things in but that’s not necessarily a bad thing if you’re short on time!

Low Carb Lasagna

In this case, low carb means no carb, or at least none of the non-veggie variety. Zucchini noodles are used instead of pasta, and the ‘cheese’ is actually egg. The recipe uses turkey mince but you could easily change this out for beef if you prefer.

Paleo Lasagna

Vegan La La La La Lasagna

Paleo recipes often include a lot of meat or eggs, so it can be tricky for those who like to eat vegan AND paleo to find recipes to suit their needs. Well, this recipe solves your lasagna problems, at least! It includes olives too, which is a little different for a lasagne but works really well with the other Mediterranean tastes! Just leave them out if you’re not a fan.

Vegan Vegetable Lasagna

Here’s another one for the vegetarians and vegans amongst us. The ‘ricotta cheese’ is made from macadamia nuts, providing a little extra protein, and layers of vegetables are used instead of pasta sheets. This really is vegetable heaven!
