  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Keto Lasagna Layers
  • 3 medium zucchinis sliced lengthwise (or keto lasagna noodles of choice)
Cheese Layer
  • 1½ cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Topping
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife or mandoline
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spoon or spatula
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Paper towels
  • Aluminum foil
  • Oven

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini (If Using)
  1. Slice zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lay them on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry thoroughly.
Step 2: Cook the Meat Sauce
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
  1. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, and chopped parsley until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagne
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Layer zucchini or keto noodles over the sauce, followed by ricotta mixture, then meat sauce. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with meat sauce.
  4. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 5: Bake
  1. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Step 6: Rest
  1. Let the lasagne rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set.
