Zucchini
You wouldn’t believe how delicious lasagna noodles would taste if you used zucchini instead, especially in lasagne. It works well in many recipes as a gluten-free, keto-friendly, and Paleo substitute for lasagna noodles.
The trick is to slice the zucchini thinly so it doesn’t produce much water when baked, use bigger slices so you end up using less that would fit in your pan, roast the zucchini for about 15-20 minutes at 450 degrees, use less tomato sauce, and thicken your tomato sauce with any thickener of your choice. Most people may be concerned about using this alternative in Lasagne because it could produce a watery result.
After baking, allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes to absorb any excess liquid.
