Once you have a good lasagna recipe under your belt, you know you’re getting somewhere in the culinary world. It’s important to put a little time to the side for a good lasagne – and one that doesn’t include meat is great to have in your arsenal. There are so many reasons for not eating meat – see here for a stark reminder. I used to eat a lot of meat, and a lot of lasagna. And so I now have one thing to say – bollocks to the veggie haters, this is the best lasagna ever. Best. Lasagna. Ever. Don’t believe me? That’s fine, taste is subjective anyway. But make your decision after you’ve tried it. I will agree that lasagna needs a certain type of ‘meaty’ flavour, after all it was originally a meat dish. But that’s easily possible thanks to spelt grains or freekeh, which take on an amazing, smoky, deep flavour when cooked in stock. The pleasingly-chewy texture feels like the consistency of meat too, and is more than a replacement – it’s even better 😉
Health Benefits – Vegetarian Zucchini Lasagna
As if this dish couldn’t get any better – it can. Although no lasagne will ever be the healthiest meal in the world, it has a lot going for it through the spelt and the veg (spelt is a great source of both fibre and protein) – and we have a cheeky trick to massively reduce the calories and carbs involved. We’re already big fans of swapping out pasta for zucchini (I’m looking at you zoodles!), and the same can be done here if wanted. You simply slice a zucchini up nice and thin (I use this one, it’s great), and layer it in the place of pasta sheets. Low carb, low calorie (around just ⅛ of regular pasta!) and much less likely to send you to sleep directly after eating 😉 So what point do I want to prove here? Essentially that amazing meals can all be made meat-free, whether it’s lasagna, chickpea curry, or chili con carne. Try, and see if you feel the same. What have you got to lose?
