KETO LASAGNA RECIPE
We’ve had many keto lasagnas over the years. The hardest thing about a Keto lasagna is replacing the lasagna noodle with something that actually holds its shape.
LOW-CARB NOODLE REPLACEMENT
- Zucchini as the lasagna noodle is good but tends to get watery and turn into a big mush.
- Fathead dough is another alternative to a noodle but also turns into mush when looked.
- I’ve also made noodles with lupin flour. They started off promising but also turned to big mess when cooked.
- The winner! Of all the things we’ve tried, an egg white as the noodle provides a neutral flavored layer that holds its shape. Egglife wraps are the brand we used which is a little thicker than other brands I’ve seen.
HOW TO MAKE KETO LASAGNA
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
-
For the beef mixture: In a large skillet, brown the beef and sausage together with onion. Add the garlic for the last minute of cooking. Add marinara after the meat is fully cooked. Set aside.
-
For the Ricotta mixture: In a bowl stir together the ricotta, parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
-
Begin layering in the 9×13 baking dish with 1/3 of the meat mixture.
Next, lay 2 egg wraps on top of the meat. You can tear them or just layer them.
Top with 1 cup of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers two more times.-
Bake at 350 for 15 min or until cheese is bubbly and browning. Turn the heat up to broil for the last few minutes to help brown the cheese.
