Keto lasagna Ingredients
Lasagna Noodles:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (120g) of room temperature cream cheese
- a third cup (30g) of grated parmesan
- shredded mozzarella, 1 cup plus 1/2 cup (180g)
- Garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon
- 1/4 cup onion powder
Meat Sauce:
- Olive oil, two tablespoons
- 1.5 lbs (750 g) or so of ground beef
- 1/2 minced red bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 500g or a bit more than 2 cups of tomato passata
- 1 teaspoon of seasoning mix
- Pepper and salt
Ricotta Filling:
- 250g or 1 cup of ricotta
- Grated (30g) parmesan, one-third cup
- nutmeg, just a pinch
- 2/fourths cup heavy cream
- heavy cream, 2 tablespoons
Keto lasagna Topping:
- shredded mozzarella, 1 cup (113g)

Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and line it with the oven at 350°F (175°C). Using a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl. I used a 13X18 pan to make an 8×16 rectangle. The edges will be a little thinner.
- Mix in the spices and parmesan. Then, add the mozzarella and combine with a spoon.
- Layer the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. 20 to 25 minutes bake. Allow it to completely cool.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the ground beef, stirring frequently, for 5-8 minutes.
- Cook for an additional five minutes after adding bell pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- After that, combine all of the ingredients for the ricotta filling in a small bowl until well combined.
- Then, for the assembly of the lasagna, cut the cooled pasta into three equal pieces.
- Pour an even layer of meat sauce into an 8×8-inch baking dish before assembling. After that, evenly distribute some ricotta filling over the first sheet of pasta that has been placed on top of the sauce.
- For the subsequent two layers, proceed in this order: pasta sheet, sauce, ricotta filling.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is browned and the cheese is bubbling, at 350°F (175°C). Top with mozzarella and parmesan.
- Enjoy your lasagna sliced!
