Description

Creamy Keto Lasagna with Zucchini Noodles: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (sugar-free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Zucchini Noodles: Slice the zucchinis into thin noodles using a mandoline or sharp knife. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage, cooking until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix well until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Next, add a layer of zucchini noodles, followed by half of the meat mixture, and half of the cheese filling. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of zucchini noodles and a generous topping of marinara sauce.
  6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the final layer.
  7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let it Rest: Once done, allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set properly.
  9. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.
