Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 large eggs
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the keto noodles, mix the cream cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella, parmesan, and eggs in a bowl until smooth. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until golden, then slice into lasagna-sized strips.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked beef mixture and set aside.
In a baking dish, layer half of the cheese noodles, a layer of ricotta, and a layer of the meat sauce.
Repeat the layers once more and top with the final 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure your marinara sauce is free from added sugars to maintain keto compliance. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken if desired. Add Italian seasoning to the meat sauce for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
