This keto lasagna Bolognese is made without noodles, with slices of Edam cheese instead of noodles, together with homemade Bolognese sauce and ricotta cheese filling. It’s incredible when you realize that you don’t need noodles to cook yummy lasagna, just nice slices of semi-hard cheese.

Ingredients for Bolognese sauce
Olive oil 1 TBS
Ground/minced beef 450 g
1 M Onion 70 g
Garlic powder or spring garlic 1/4 tsp
Sugar free tomato sauce 200 g (2/3 cup)
Sea salt 1 tsp

Dry basil 1 tsp

How to make low carb lasagna?
First prepare keto Bolognese sauce with ground beef
Chopped onions put on a hot olive oil and stir until the onion start to be soft and golden brown on the edges, and you feel the smell of caramelized onion.
When onion is golden brown add ground beef and salt. Stir well until meat is golden brown on the edges and water from the meat evaporated and the meat is dry. When meat becomes golden brown add tomato sauce, ground pepper, garlic, oregano and basil. Stir well for the next few minutes until sauce is thick and water is gone completely.🌿 It should be dry sauce without water because Edam cheese cannot soak the water from the sauce.
When Bolognese sauce is cooked, remove it from the stove and set aside.
Prepare ricotta cheese filling
Whisk ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt, little bit of ground pepper and 2 eggs until the mixture is nice and completely smooth.
How to place keto lasagna layers in the baking dish
Brush the baking dish with butter.
Put the thin layer of ricotta filling on the butter and Edam cheese slices on ricotta filling.
2/3 of Bolognese sauce put on a cheese slices and half of ricotta filling on top of Bolognese sauce.
Cover it with Edam slices and repeat the procedure, but first with remaining ricotta filling and then Bolognese sauce.
On top of Bolognese sauce put mozzarella cheese and freshly grated Parmigiano or Grana Padano cheese.
Bake keto lasagna in a preheated oven with vent on 180 C (356 F) for 15 minutes or until baked (it depends on your oven). It should be golden brown on top when it’s baked.
I like to eat keto lasagna with leafy green salad, but you can serve it as you like it the best.

June 26, 2020 at 7:03 pmYour lasagna looks easier than baking fathead sheets to cut into “noodles” as I do now, but Edam sliced cheese is hard to find.
Ideas for more readily available substitutes?
