In a large oven safe skillet over medium heat, brown the beef while breaking into smaller chunks, about 7-8 minutes
While this is cooking, boil water in a large pot suitable for your lasagna noodles and cook those until tender (about 8 minutes). They may stick together, so stir this occasionally. When cooked, strain and toss with your garlic-infused oil
Once beef is browned, stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper
Add your marinara sauce, and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes
Mix in basil, taste, and adjust as desired
Stir in the cooked lasagna noodles, then drop the ricotta cheese over top with a tablespoon
Sprinkle everything with your shredded mozzarella and Parmesan
Allow the cheese to melt for about 2 minutes, then place in your broiler for 2-3 minutes to completely melt, and brown slightly
Serve, garnished with fresh basil
Notes
Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using available FODMAP data at time of posting)
Select a seasoning blend without added onion or garlic
Select a GF and low-FODMAP Pasta noodle and break it into smaller pieces. I prefer to boil the pasta separately, to ensure even cooking. Although most of the GF pasta brands are ‘oven ready’, I have not tried to boil them directly in the sauce, and I can’t vouch for whether the cooking time, or liquid amount would be sufficient
I used Prego Sensitive marinara (it is FODMAP certified). FODMAP Friendly lists a 5.2 ounce serving size for marinara, with a maximum of 13 ounces. For grocery shopping advice, see my low-FODMAP Grocery List!
For ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons is one low-FODMAP serving due to lactose. If you can find lactose-free ricotta, then you may use that
Parmesan is low in lactose, there will be a salty flavor that this provides to your dish as well. Up to 5 cups is one low-FODMAP serving according to Monash
For mozzarella cheese, up to 5 cups is one low-FODMAP serving according to FODMAP Friendly
