KETO-FRIENDLY LASAGNA RECIPE
Favorite comfort food in my house growing up was always a cheesy lasagna. When I decided to follow a keto diet, I knew I needed to turn my Mom’s high-carb lasagna and my favorite Italian comfort food into a keto lasagna, but still keep the flavors of traditional lasagna.
Regular lasagna uses refined pasta and is very high in carbs if you are following a keto lifestyle. It’s also too high in carbs for many following a low carb diet and will definitely spike blood sugar.
To make my lasagna keto, swapping the traditional white flour pasta for a lower carb option was the key.

In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella (save the other cup for topping), eggs, seasonings and parmesan. Set aside.
To assemble in a 9 by 13 casserole dish:
Lay 4 egg wraps to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread half the cheese mixture over the wraps.
Spread half the meat mixture over the cheese mixture.
Lay more 4 more wraps and repeat again with the rest of the cheese and meat mixture. Finish with the final slices of 4 wraps.
Top with 1 cup marinara sauce and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Bake 30 minutes covered then uncovered for 10 minutes. Give it a quick 5 minute broil if you like a crispier topping.
