Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium zucchinis
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 24 oz keto marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 ½ cups shredded Mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 - inch baking pan with oil; set aside.
  • Use a mandoline to carefully slice the zucchini into ⅛-inch thick slices. Lay onto a wire rack or flat kitchen surface and sprinkle with salt, to draw out extra moisture. After 15 minutes, pat dry with a towel.
  • For the sauce: In a large saucepan cook beef, onion, and garlic until the meat is brown. Break the meat apart as it cooks.
  • Add the marinara sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper and stir until combined.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • For the ricotta filling: combine the whisked egg, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley.
  • To layer the keto lasagna: Spread a little sauce on the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of zucchini noodles over the sauce. Spread ⅓ of the ricotta mixture over the zucchini. Then spread ⅓ of the sauce mixture over the zucchini. Sprinkle with ½ cup of mozzarella. Repeat the layers two more times starting with zucchini, following with ricotta, sauce, and mozzarella.
  • Cover the lasagna pan with foil, place it on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the foil, then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
