Hi all! This is going to sound weird but i am looking for a Core lasagne recipe that falls into either of these 2 catagories-
1) has meat but no cheese in it what so ever 2) has FF ricotta or Cottage cheese but no other cheeses and no meat(meat substitues are ok though). Anyone have any ideas??? THANKS!

I can't help with a meat only lasagne, but most recipes I see call for ricotta as the filling and the mozzarella/Parmesan goes on top. So you easily could eliminate those from the dish.

Why couldn't you just leave out what you don't want? Soy crumbles instead of ground meat and ff cottage cheese or ricotta, but no parmesan or mozzarella might work well. Do you mind if I ask why you want one of these combinations? I could understand no meat or no cheese (to keep kosher), but is there something special about cottage cheese & ricotta? Could you use soy cheese instead of dairy? I think some (many?) have rennet - not sure if that would be a problem for you. I bought some soy parmesan and it is quite good (I usually eat only imported Italian cheese).

Tina you hit the nail on the head. I can't have meat and cheese together because of Kosher. However there is no Kosher FF cheeses aside from Ricotta or Cottage. Thanks for all the ideas!

That's interesting. Can you use soy cheese with meat? I don't eat much meat, so I never use it in lasagne. Nutritional yeast has a nutty/cheesey flavor. Perhaps you could experiment with using that in place of parmesan. Of course, you could always use a small amount of a flavorful full-fat cheese (on your meat-free lasagne) and count points. I love imported sharp provolone - a little goes a long way.

Thanks for the ideas Tina. To answer your question, yes, theoretically i can eat soy cheese with my lasagne but i haven't found any kosher soy cheese. Does soy cheese have to be fat free?

Soy cheese does not have to be fat free.
