No Pasta Lasagne
As I advise to move away from pasta which sends blood sugar sky high, the alternative has always been to use vegetables as a swap. But this cheat, again adapted from the Diet Doctor website ticks all the taste and texture boxes whilst keeping you low carb. A revelation.

No pasta pasta
Next make the no pasta pasta. In a medium sized bowl add all the ingredients except the psyllium. Whisk well then sprinkle on the psyllium and whisk really well to combine before it starts to thicken. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
Pre heat the oven to 130 fan, 150 electric or Gas 2.
Line two lipped baking trays with baking parchment/paper (not greaseproof it will stick). Divide the mix equally between the two and spread with a spatula. Place another sheet of baking parchment/paper on top of each and with your hands or a rolling pin smooth out to the edges so that you are left with a flat surface. Leave the top paper on and place in the oven. Bake for 12 minutes.
Allow to cool on wire racks.
Assembly

The first layer is your meat or veg sauce. Then a layer of no pasta pasta. And repeat.
