For the Meat Sauce & Layers

How to Make Keto Lasagna
1. Make the Low-Carb Noodles
Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts until melted and smooth. Whisk in the eggs until a thick batter forms. Spread on a lined baking sheet and bake until set and lightly golden.
These noodles look and slice like traditional lasagna sheets, but with almost zero carbs.
2. Make the Meat Sauce
Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, pour in marinara, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for a few minutes to deepen the flavor.
3. Assemble the Lasagna
Slice the baked noodle sheet into 6 even pieces. Layer:
- Two noodles
- Ricotta
- Meat sauce
- Mozzarella
Repeat until all ingredients are used. You’ll end with a glorious cheesy top.
4. Bake
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30–35 minutes until bubbling and golden. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing, it helps the layers set.
Recipe Tips & Variations
Let the noodles cool before assembling so the ricotta doesn’t melt prematurely.
Use freshly shredded cheese, it melts creamier and avoids the graininess of bagged cheese.
Add chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy version.
Swap beef for Italian sausage for deeper flavor.
Make ahead up to 2 days before baking, or freeze up to 3 months.
