Lasagna that is as authentic as nonnie would make but only 4 net carbs each serving! Instead of pasta or noodles, use Crepini egg cauliflower wraps. This is the best low-carb, keto, & Gluten-free recipe you will ever have!
Equipment
- round casserole dish (1.5-quart size)
Ingredients
- 8 Crepini Egg Thins w Cauliflower
- ¾ LB ground beef 80/20
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ C ricotta cheese full-fat
- ½ C parmesan cheese grated
- 1 C mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ C Trader Joes 3 Cheese pasta sauce
- additional parmesan & mozzarella for the top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- Brown crumbled ground beef in a medium-sized saute pan on medium heat. Add garlic clove in the final minutes. Drain fat and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine the beaten egg, ricotta, and parmesan. Stir to combine.
- To assemble – Spray with olive oil a round casserole dish about the same size as the Crepinis. I used a 1.5 quart round casserole dish.
- Spread a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with two Crepini to cover as much of the bottom as possible.
- Spoon more tomato sauce on top of the Crepini. Spoon ⅓ of the meat mixture next. Top meat with ⅓ of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle ⅓ of the mozzarella next.
- Repeat 2 more layers with 2 Crepini, sauce, ⅓ meat, ⅓ cheese mixture, and ⅓ of the mozzarella. Once the 4th layer of Crepini is on top, spoon the last bit of sauce and sprinkle with a bit more parmesan and mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake on 425* for 30 minutes covered. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.
- Let set about 5 minutes before you cut into 4 portions.
