Discover the ultimate comfort dish for anyone gluten-sensitive or celiac with this gluten-free lasagna using Massimo Zero’s premium lasagne sheets from Italy. These no-boil sheets offer the same luxurious texture as traditional pasta, making it possible to enjoy a deeply satisfying, classic Italian lasagna — without the gluten.
Lasagna has been a staple of Italian kitchens for centuries, with origins dating back to Ancient Rome. Traditionally made with durum wheat pasta, today’s dietary needs have inspired creative versions like this one — where gluten-free sheets from Italy’s Massimo Zero bring authenticity and accessibility together.
Many Italian chefs including Giada De Laurentiis have featured gluten-free versions of pasta recipes, and Giadzy.com often highlights Italian-imported brands like Massimo Zero. Lasagna also famously appears in pop culture, from Garfield the Cat’s obsession to cozy Sunday scenes in Italian-American family movies like Moonstruck or Big Night.
While Massimo Zero products are hard to find in local markets, Giadzy.com often has them in stock — get them while you can! Serve this dish at a Sunday family dinner, paired with a robust Chianti and a fresh arugula salad topped with lemon vinaigrette.

**Update – I have been having a hard time finding these Massimo Zero Lasagne Sheets. Giadzy – where I originally bought them – no longer has them listed as a product. Amazon does not have them either. Massimo Zero website does not show the sheets listed as a product with the other pastas, but it is still on their site. If you can find them, buy them. I am fortunate that I bought a lot when Giadzy had them on their website. They are definitely one of, if not THE best gluten free lasagna sheets. When I am back in Italy, I will definitely find them to bring them back.

Notes

- For added flavor, use a combination of Pecorino and Parmesan on top, even try different chesses like Pepper Jack.
- You can substitute beef/sausage with plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian option.
