We all have foods we miss when we ditch wheat, and lasagna tops the list for a lot of us. Think about it – it’s the ultimate comfort food: gooey cheese, zingy sauce, meat if you like, sometimes your favorite vegetables, all layered between stacks of tender noodles. Well, pull out that lasagna pan because this recipe is going feel completely indulgent. This celery root lasagna is the real deal, without the brain fog and digestive discomfort you get from grains. Even the most carb-addicted, pasta-loving person you know ask for seconds. In place of noodles, we’ll use thin sheets of celery root, a vegetable with a mild flavor and tender texture that does a fine job of impersonating a lasagna noodle. The skin is fibrous and earthy, so it’s best to peel celery root and cook with the tender flesh. At only 3 net carbs per 1/2 cup, celery root makes a great addition to a keto lifestyle. Gluten Free Lasagna with Celery Root (Celeriac) Noodles Recipe Ingredients 1/4 cup organic extra virgin olive oil, divided 4-6 assorted tomatoes, cut into wedges 1/2 cup chopped red onion 3 cloves minced garlic 3 cloves garlic, smashed 1 lb. grass-fed ground beef 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1/2 tbsp. dried oregano 2 tbsp. tomato paste 2-3 tbsp. broth 2 tbsp. fresh basil 3 large or 4 medium celery roots 2 tbsp.

Drop your celery root sheets in (if your pot is smaller you may need to do this in two batches). Allow them to simmer in the water for a few minutes until you can just pierce them with a fork. Use a slotted spoon to remove the slices and allow them to drain on a piece of towel or paper towel. Chop any remaining odd and end bits of celery root and place them in the water. Allow them to boil until they are soft. Remove the celery root pieces and set them aside in a separate bowl or plate. In a blender, place the chopped up pieces of celery root and the butter. Blend together until smooth (you can use a little broth or water if the mixture is too thick) and then stir in a few tablespoons of the mozzarella. … Continue reading “Gluten Free Lasagna with Celery Root (Celeriac) Noodles”
