How to make Keto Lasagna
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Using parchment paper, line a large baking sheet and grease using cooking spray.
Step 2: Melt the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl along with mozzarella, and Parmesan. Then, add the eggs and stir well until blended. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Onto the prepared baking sheet, spread the mixture, and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and set. Allow it to cool once baked.
Step 4: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender. Then, add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute until aromatic. Stir in the tomato paste until the onion is coated.
Step 5: To the skillet, add the ground beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6 minutes, breaking the meat up using a wooden spoon until brown.
Step 6: Place the skillet back on the stove. Add the marinara and heat until warm. To taste, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
Step 7: In half widthwise, cut the noodles. Into 3 pieces, cut each half.
Step 8: Into an 8-inch baking pan, spoon a little amount of the sauce. On top, place 2 noodles. Over the noodles, spread a third of the ricotta, followed by a third of the meat mixture, and sprinkle with a third of shredded mozzarella. Do the same layers twice. On top of the final layer, add the Parmesan
Step 9: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until melty and the sauce is bubbly.
Step 10: Serve the lasagna right away garnished with some parsley. Enjoy!
