Ingredients
  

For the keto lasagna noodles

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 3 large eggs

For the lasagna

  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the cheese is mostly melted.
  • Add the eggs to the melted cheese mixture and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
  • Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until the edges are firm. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
  • Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef and cook for about 3 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Remove the meat sauce from heat.
  • Begin assembling the Keto Lasagna. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with foil. Cut the keto noodle sheet into six equal pieces.
  • Place two pieces on the bottom of the dish. Spread 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, add one-third of the meat sauce, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella.
  • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
  • Bake the assembled lasagna for 30–35 minutes until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra richness, mix a little parmesan cheese into the ricotta layer. You can also add sautéed mushrooms or spinach between layers for additional texture and nutrients.
