This is a delicious, non-cheese paleo lasagna that anyone can enjoy – even if you don’t do paleo. I use sliced (not too thin) eggplants instead of “noodles”, and you might be surprised to hear it’s actually a pretty big hit with my kids. At first they were a bit skeptical about lasagna sauce that doesn’t have an ounce of diary products in it, but the empty cooking pan is all the proof any cook needs to see if he did his job properly. Without any further ado, here’s the best 100% paleo lasagna recipe on the internet (if I may so modestly).
