Overview

Keto Lasagna is a low-carb version of the classic Italian lasagna. It uses thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant in place of the pasta layers, retaining the flavors without the high carb content.

Ingredients

• 500g ground beef
• 2 cups marinara sauce (no-sugar-added)
• 1 medium zucchini or eggplant, thinly sliced lengthwise
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes, for added heat

Preparation

• 1. In a skillet, brown the ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
• 2. Add the marinara sauce to the beef and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• 3. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese, egg, and chopped herbs.
• 4. Layer the lasagna: Start with a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Follow with a layer of zucchini or eggplant slices, then a layer of the cheese mixture.
• 5. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.
• 6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
• 7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
• 8. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a side of keto-friendly garlic bread or a fresh salad.
• Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.
