Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Sheet

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 3 large eggs

Meat Sauce

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce (preferably low sugar or keto-friendly)

Lasagna Layers

  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for the cheese sheet preparation.
  2. Make the Cheese Sheet Batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is mostly melted and smooth. Add the eggs and whisk thoroughly to create a smooth, batter-like consistency.
  3. Bake the Cheese Sheet: Pour the cheese batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are firm to the touch. Remove and allow to cool completely; this will serve as your lasagna sheets.
  4. Prepare the Meat Sauce: Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, saute for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add ground beef, cooking and stirring for 3 minutes until browned. Pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble the Lasagna: Cover an 8 x 8-inch baking pan completely with tin foil. Cut the cooled cheese sheet into 6 even pieces. Start by placing two pieces on the bottom of the pan. Spread 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese over the sheets, then layer one-third of the meat sauce followed by 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering with the cheese sheets, ricotta, meat sauce, and mozzarella until all ingredients are used.
  6. Bake the Assembled Lasagna: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce bubbles around the edges. Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a low-sugar marinara sauce or homemade keto-friendly marinara to keep the recipe keto-compliant.
  • Allow the cheese sheet to cool completely to handle easily when assembling the lasagna.
  • Letting the lasagna rest after baking helps the layers set for cleaner slices.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking for convenience.
