I love this recipe because you don't miss the pasta in the lasagna. It looks, smells and tastes like the real deal! You can add ricotta cheese or any other kind of cheese you like for variation. -Tammy Kirk, Raleigh, NC

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb ground beef
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 drops liquid Splenda
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
grated parmesan cheese, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Spray an 7" round (2" deep) cake pan with non-stick vegetable oil spray. I use a 7" spring form pan.
  • In a heavy skillet, brown the ground beef, stirring to break it up, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat from pan.
  • Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, the seasonings, and the sweetener.
  • Simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the egg, the Parmesan, pepper, and the parsley.
  • Assemble lasagna : Trim 3 low-carb tortillas to 7" circles, to fit into the pan, if necessary.
  • Spread a spoonful of meat sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay one tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup meat sauce, then use half of the remaining sauce to cover the tortilla.
  • Dollop half of the ricotta mixture over the meat sauce.
  • Reserve a couple tablespoons of mozzarella for the top. Sprinkle half of the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  • Top with a second low-carb tortilla, and repeat the layering: meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.
  • Top with a third low-carb tortilla. Spread with the reserved meat sauce and sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella and with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 to 25 additional minutes, till bubbly hot.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Cut into four wedges and serve.
  • If you use a 3 net carb tortilla, each serving is about 9 net carbs.

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables in advance: Chopping and dicing your vegetables ahead of time will save you time when you're assembling the lasagna.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut your zucchini noodles: This will help prevent them from becoming mushy when you cook them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini noodles: Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them.
  • Season the zucchini noodles well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great options.
  • Let the lasagna cool slightly before slicing: This will help it hold its shape better.

Conclusion:

This low-carb lasagna is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own dietary needs. With its layers of zucchini noodles, cheese, and sauce, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
