The potato lasagna is a nice alternative to using pasta noodles to those who have problems consuming gluten. We’re also using our super marinara sauce recipe with some whole milk to create a creamy white sauce for some added richness. Add in some of your favorite ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, ground sausage or beef, and stack up a few layers at 400 degrees for some flavorful goodness.
