Guys, if you want almost real lasagna noodles when following a low carb/keto-friendly diet then you have to try these noodles! How do you make a low carb/keto-friendly lasagna? Let me show you. The net carb total for 1 serving is 15.6 carbs.

Keto Lasagna

Low Carb Lasagna Noodles:

How do you make pasta with no carbs? Skip searching your favorite grocery store for some already made low carb lasagna noodles and make these instead.  These lasagna noodles are super easy to make and are made with cream cheese, mozzarella, and egg. It’s kind of like the Fat Head Dough recipe minus the almond flour, you shape it into noodles. 

I was really impressed with these noodles and they were almost kind of fun to make. You don’t even miss the real pasta noodles loaded with carbs. 

Low Carb Pasta

Sauce:

Start off with beef that is higher in fat. 80/20 or anything lower than that should be fine.

Pretty much the only ingredient in this lasagna that has carbs is the store-bought marinara sauce.

For the marinara sauce, you can choose to make your own or look for one in the store that is lower in carbs. Aldi Specially Selected Roasted Garlic marinara was pretty low. 7 total, I think? Just read your labels carefully and pick the best one that works out for you. Alfredo sauce would be a good alternative to marinara sauce.

How to make Keto Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment and grease with cooking spray. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan together. Add eggs and mix until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. 
    Spread onto a prepared baking sheet and bake until golden and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. 
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. 
  3. Add ground beef and season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Drain. 
  4. Return skillet to stove and add marinara. Heat until warmed through. 
  5. Cut noodles in half widthwise, then cut each half into 3 pieces. Spoon a small amount of sauce into an 8” baking pan and place 2 noodles in the bottom of the dish. Spread a third of the ricotta over noodles then layer a third of the meat mixture on top, and sprinkle with a third of the shredded mozzarella. Repeat to make 2 more layers. Top with Parmesan. 
  6. Bake until cheese is melty and sauce is bubbly, 30 minutes. 
  7. Garnish with parsley and some freshly cracked black pepper. 

Tips for Keto Lasagna
