Top your favorite casseroles with this easy recipe for dairy-free melty cheese, made entirely of whole foods, used as the rich topping in this dairy-free, grain-free, paleo lasagna, layered with butternut squash noodles.
There is so much awesome here, I’m not sure where to start. Wait, yes I do… I MADE DAIRY-FREE MELTY CHEESE! Yes, it melts. And it holds things together. And it tastes like cheese… but it’s not cheese. And it goes fabulous on lasagna. Grain-free lasagna, to be exact.

I'm ready!This dairy-free + grain-free paleo lasagna is layered with thin strips of fresh butternut squash as the “noodles”. Fun, right?
I made slight changes to this recipe because… I can’t stick to ANY recipe, regardless of where I find it. Plus, I wanted to make it slightly higher in fat + lower in carbs.
Each serving of this dairy-free + grain-free, paleo lasagna has 17 grams of net carbs. Yes, it’s a bit high for one serving, but I’ve found that following a high-fat, low-carb eating style has me eating once, maybe twice a day. So, 17 grams of net carbs for one meal out of two meals is quite reasonable, really.
If you want to lower the carbohydrate count even further, you could sub the butternut squash noodles for slices of zucchini, or use a dairy-free cream-based sauce instead of tomatoes. My Dairy-free Cream Sauce would be excellent.

I’m so excited about this recipe. I served this lasagna to Kevin and he legitimately thought I’d use a cheese product to get the cheese-like taste. Mwahaha!
