To get the ideal texture, spread the batter as thinly as possible onto the baking sheet. We suggest using one that’s 13 inches long and 8 inches wide.
How To Bake It Into A Dreamy Lasagna
Once your cauliflower noodles are ready, you can use them just like you would with traditional lasagna – sans the boiling!
When you’re ready to assemble your lasagna, grab an eight-by-eight-inch baking pan and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Layer four lasagna noodles on top and pile on a good portion of veggies, meats, or Paleo cheese. Repeat the layering process with the remaining noodles and fillings, then bake for 15 minutes at 350°F.
Helpful Tips To Get Started:
- Avoid overcooking. Oven times may vary, so check your noodle sheet after 10 minutes. The noodles should be completely cooked through, but not starting to brown.
- Try them in other pasta recipes. You can use these cauliflower noodles as roll-ups or slice them into pappardelle-style noodles. Bonus: You don’t need to reheat! Just add your favorite toppings with warm sauce and nosh away!
