Low Carb Keto Lasagne

Hands up who likes Italian 🇮🇹 food 🙋‍♀️

Carne (meat) 🍖, pesce (fish) 🐠 soup 🥣, salad 🥗, pizza 🍕, pane (bread) 🍞, pasta 🍝… The list is endless and tasty 😋

Every country has culinary styles that differ from region to region but in Italy 🇮🇹 they are more prominent due to the country’s long and narrow shape surrounded by sea 🌊 Italian cuisine 🇮🇹 is a Mediterranean cuisine which offers abundance of taste and is world wide famous 🌎 🌍 🌏 Many meals only have one or two main ingredients which makes them easier to prepare 👩‍🍳

I cooked lasagne from scratch but with a twist 😋 Low carb, no dough and more cheese 🧀

Ingredients 📝:

500 g mince meat 🥩
250 g tomato and basil sauce (or any tomato sauce that you like)
220 g mozzarella cheese 🧀
one onion 🧅
180 g cream cheese 🧀
150 g Ricotta cheese 🧀
2 eggs 🥚
salt 🧂
pepper
dried oregano

Method 👩‍🍳:

First we need to make the cheese dough – pre-heat the oven to 180C. In a bowl mix the cream cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, the eggs and add oregano

Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray over a grease proof baking sheet
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes

After you take it out of the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes and cut the cheese dough into thirds, creating three layers which we will place in a loaf pan when we assemble the lasagne
Make sure that the slices are not stuck to the baking paper
Let it cool don on the side until it gets thicker

In a medium to high temperature pre-heated pan, add the chopped onion and mince meat and cook for about 10-12 minutes (until the onion is soft and the meat is browned)

Add in the tomato sauce and lower the temperature to simmer. Stir occasionally

Time to assemble our lasagne – evenly slice the cheese dough into thirds (they should fit in loaf pan).
Add a layer of cheese dough, mince meat, Ricotta cheese and a bit of mozzarella if you want
