• All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  

For the sauce:

• Heat the olive oils in a large saucepan over a low to medium heat. Add carrots and cook until translucent.
  
• Stir in fresh basil and zucchini. Cook until the basil wilts and the zucchini has lost most of its juice.
  
• Add diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil and stirring frequently.
  
• Add the tomato sauce, and reduce the pan to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer until thickened and bubbling. This will take about 15 minutes. Gradually stir in the tomato paste until it’s mixed completely.
  
• Gradually add the red wine, stirring well to combine the sauce and the wine.
  
• Bring the sauce back to a simmer, and add salt, pepper, oregano, and sugar. Stir well to make sure the sugar dissolves completely.
  
• Cook until sauce is heated through again, anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. Congratulations! This is the hardest part of the lasagna recipe, and you’ve completed it!

For the lasagna:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add your noodles and cook to al dente, unless using oven ready lasagna noodles. Once noodles are done, drain excess water and place to the side.
  
• In another pan, heat your olive oil. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper, browning the meat.
  
• Add 24 ounces (3 cups) of your low FODMAP sauce to the pan and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  
• Using a 13”x9” pan, layer about ⅓ of your meat mixture, ⅓ of your Colby Jack cheese, and ¼ of your mozzarella cheese.
• Layer lasagna noodles on top of the meat and cheese. Repeat this process 3 times.
  
• On the top layer, spread about 6 ounces of sauce on the noodles. Use the remaining mozzarella cheese to cover the sauce. Top the mozzarella with your grated parmesan.
  
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes.
  
• Remove the aluminum foil, and continue to cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove the lasagna from the oven, allowing it to rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
  
• Garnish the cooked lasagna with fresh basil, either chopped or with whole leaves.
