There are some traditional lasagna recipes that call for a bechamel. This is a white cream sauce traditionally thickened with a roux made with flour and butter. This recipe does not have a bechamel sauce, so that is not a concern. But you do still get that creaminess in this gluten free lasagna with ricotta cheese mixture instead. Ricotta cheese is gluten free, and it is simply mixed with egg, salt, and fresh parsley.
