As others have mentioned, I noticed while cooking there wouldn't be much sauce, so I added to that portion of the recipe.  The cheese sauce - honestly, I don't get it.  It tasted EXACTLY like what it's made from : yellow squash, onions, and egg.  It's just more vegetables in an already very vegetable dish.   I should mention, I'm not a lasagna fan (real lasagna) and I did think this was better than the real stuff. My family (who all love lasagna) said this dish was OK - good, but not great.  I don't think I'll make it again because of the time and effort (time I am short on!).  I get just as good of a result baking eggplant and tossing on cooked ground beef or turkey and a quick homemade sauce (organic canned tomato sauce, garlic) in a fraction of the time.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Byers","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/paleo-lasagna-recipe\/#Comment9","dateCreated":"2016-09-05 07:15:04","description":"A cashew is most definitely a nut and nut allergies do apply.

It's one of my all-time favorite foods. It doesn't get better than this folks! We have reinvented a classic dish to make it healthier and acceptable to maintain a Paleo lifestyle. You no longer have to limit lasagna from your food list if you like to eat Paleo or grain-free.I used thinly sliced zucchini for the noodles. It has 4 different layers...a homemade marinara, zucchini noodles, a creamy \"cheese\" layer, and a ground turkey layer with fresh basil. To make the \"cheese\" sauce I've pureed sauteed summer squash and onions with coconut milk and an egg. When cooked it forms a flavorful 'ricotta cheese' like texture.Tips and TricksBecause the zucchini lets out so much water when cooked, you can either salt it and force some of the water out before cooking, or cook down the liquid after the lasagna has cooked. I found that removing the liquid from the crock-pot after the lasagna was cooked (I used a turkey baster which worked very well) and quickly reducing it in a wide pan made a creamy, super flavorful sauce which made the lasagna extra good.This is a bit light on marinara for some people's tastes so if you prefer more than less sauce, feel free to add more sauce.If you think it is too much work to do all the layers, you can just do cubes of the squash and mix it all together. It won't look the same but will more or less taste the same.I haven't tried almond milk in this myself but I have tried it as a sub in many recipes that call for coconut milk * and have had good luck so it should work in this recipe.You could bake it in the oven. I would suggest cooking it at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes then reduce the sauce after baking.Although this recipe is a little bit more involved and time-consuming, it was very much worth it! This recipe tastes wonderful, is healthy, and is a great way to eat lasagna while maintaining a Paleo lifestyle. It is so good, our family just can't wait to make it again!  We hope you can enjoy this recipe as much as we did! Let us know if you have tips or suggestions and what you think of our recipe!

Add the\u00a0onion and salt and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 30\u00a0seconds more. Add the tomatoes and honey and reduce heat to medium. Let\u00a0the sauce cook down for about 20 minutes, or until no longer watery and\u00a0slightly thick. Check seasonings and add more salt, if needed.To make the meat filling:Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium\/high heat. Add the ground turkey and break apart with a spatula. Cook the turkey for 2 minutes then add the onion, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until turkey is cooked through (make sure it has been broken up into small crumbles) and the onion is soft. Remove the pan from heat and toss the fresh basil into the mixture.To make the Paleo \"Cheese Sauce\"Heat the olive oil to medium in a small saucepan. Add the chopped onion,\u00a0summer squash, salt, and garlic to the pan and saute for about 3-4\u00a0minutes, until the onion is translucent. Do not brown. Add \u00bc C. of the\u00a0coconut milk to the pan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, or\u00a0until more than half of the liquid is absorbed.Place the mixture in a blender with the remaining \u00bc c. coconut milk and\u00a0puree until very smooth. Add the egg and puree until well blended.To assemble lasagna:Lightly grease the inside of a crockpot.Cover the bottom of the crockpot with about \u00be C. of the marinara sauce,\u00a0spreading it out evenly.Place about 5 zucchini 'noodles' side by side over the marinara sauce.Spoon a layer of the 'cheese sauce' over the zucchini noodles (about \u00bd\u00a0C).Sprinkle about \u00bd heaping c. of the meat mixture over the sauce.Spoon about \u00bd-3\/4 C. of the marinara sauce evenly over the meat mixture.Repeat this layering process until you have made 5 layers (zucchini, sauce,\u00a0meat, marinara) ending with the marinara sauce.Cover and cook on high for 1 \u00bd hours.After 1 \u00bd hours, remove the lid.Using a turkey baster or a ladle, remove all excess liquid that has pooled\u00a0in the crock pot (the zucchini will let off quite a bit of liquid) and\u00a0place it in a shallow frying pan. Bring the liquid to a boil and simmer\u00a0for about 5-7 minutes, or until reduced into a thick, creamy sauce. Pour\u00a0the sauce over the top of the lasagna in the crock pot and serve.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFind it online: https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/paleo-lasagna-recipe\/You may also like...9 Paleo Ground Turkey Recipes You'll Want to Eat!Veggie Paleo Turkey Meatloaf Muffins RecipePaleo Dinner Recipes Index - Plus Reader SuggestionsPaleo Chicken Soup Slow Cooker RecipePaleo Slow Cooker Recipes That Will Simplify Your LifeCrock Pot Paleo Sloppy Joes RecipeHealthy Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken RecipeThe Best Ever Paleo Beef Stew Slow Cooker Recipe"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Zucchini Crock Pot Paleo Lasagna Recipe","item":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/paleo-lasagna-recipe\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
