Instructions:

  1. Make the Keto Noodles: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, egg, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Spread the dough thinly and evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Once cool, cut the “noodle” sheet into lasagna-sized pieces.

  2. Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

  3. Add onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. Assemble the Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce. Top with a layer of keto noodles, then ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese (optional).

  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage in the filling.
  • If you don’t have crushed tomatoes, you can substitute with your favorite low-carb marinara sauce.
  • Customize the vegetables! Sauteed mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach can be added to the filling for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
