How to Make Keto Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Noodle Base

Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella, and parmesan. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, then whisk in the eggs until smooth. Spread onto the sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Create the Meat Sauce

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté your onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook for 3 minutes before stirring in the marinara sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes and remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

Line an 8×8 pan with tin foil. Cut the baked sheet into 6 even pieces. Layer the keto lasagna by placing two sheets down, followed by ricotta, meat sauce, and shredded cheese. Repeat until you have used all your ingredients. Bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbling and golden.

Pro Tips

  • Let the keto lasagna stand for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it slice cleanly.
  • If the top browns too quickly, cover it loose with foil during the final minutes.
  • Use high-quality, full-fat cheeses to maintain the best structural integrity.
  • Line your pan thoroughly with parchment or foil for the easiest cleanup.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or in a toaster oven until warmed through.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
