Today, the last day of 2021, I keep everything very simple. In this post, you will find step-by-step instructions that will show you how easy it is to make the very best gluten-free white spinach lasagna.
The white lasagna ingredients are basic. Ricotta cheese, spinach, eggs, broth, milk, oven-ready gluten-free lasagna pasta, tapioca starch, cream cheese and good melting cheese. You will also need basil, nutmeg, bay leaves, and lemon zest to add flavour.
step by step white lasagna recipe notes,
The spinach,
Whenever I make a lasagna being it red sauce lasagna or white sauce, I always use fresh spinach. The spinach takes about a minute to steam, so why not use fresh-tasting spinach.
Can you use frozen spinach for white lasagna?
You can. However, the flavour will not be the same. If you decide to use frozen spinach, be sure to drain it well. Otherwise, the lasagna will have too much liquid. I would use two packs.
Once the spinach is steamed, roughly chop it and set it aside.
The white sauce!
This sauce will set this gluten-free white lasagna apart from most. I replaced part of the milk or cream with a gluten-free veggie broth to keep the sauce light and well-flavoured. I used my homemade mushroom broth.
The sauce is made by briefly simmering onions, garlic, basil, bay leaf, and nutmeg in a broth and then thickened with milk, tapioca flour and two types of cheese. Very simple and packed with flavour.
the cheesy spinach layer,
This layer is made up of freshly steamed spinach, ricotta cheese, another good melting cheese like provolone or mozzarella, parmesan, lemon zest and whipped egg whites.
The egg whites are what make this layer super light. There is no need to add seasoning to the spinach layer except lemon zest. The white sauce is what flavours the entire gluten-free lasagna.
To assemble the white lasagna, here is the order of layering.
1/4 of the sauce
3 – 4 Lasagna noodles
1/2 spinach mixture
1/4 of the sauce
3 – 4 Lasagna noodles
1/2 Spinach layer
1/4 of the sauce
3 – 4 Lasagna noodles
1/4 of the sauce
1/4 cup parmesan cheese after 30 minutes of baking
A note on lasagna noodles.
I was able to find the gluten-free oven-ready lasagna noodles on Amazon. If you can’t find these noodles, you can use regular gluten-free lasagna noodles. To get them ready, first, boil them in salted water. But only until they start to soften, not fully cooked. The noodles will continue to cook while the lasagna is baking.
Can you use other veggies?
Some veggies that come to mind are sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, thinly cut kale, diced squash, to name a few. Just be sure to steam the veggies for about 2 minutes. Then, again, they will continue to cook in the lasagna.
Can you freeze gluten-free white lasagna?
I often double the recipe and freeze one. You can freeze the lasagna before baking. Then, bring the lasagna to room temperature and bake.
This gluten-free white spinach lasagna is my last post this year. Let’s hope 2022 will be the beginning of the end to all the madness we’ve had to endure the past couple of years and see a return to normalcy. Peace, health, love and happiness to you all!

I made it today, the white sauce lasagna was outstanding, thank you for the recipe
I am so happy that you enjoyed the lasagna Evelyn, thank you.
Hi,maybe I’m doing something wrong but it seems like there’s WAY too much sauce and the dish isn’t firming up in the oven.. not sure how long to cook to see if that happens. I added some ground beef and used slices of zucchini instead of noodles.
Adrielle, by replacing the noodles with zucchini, you have reduced the starch that naturally forms from noodles and thickened the sauce. If you are not using noodle you need to reduce the sauce by about 1 1/2 cups and add about 2 extra tablespoons of tapioca starch.
