Pre keto (and pre gluten-free) I used to love lasagna.  it was a remedy meals for me.  When I went gluten-free I stopped consuming lasagna altogether.  I don’t recognise if it's simply due to the fact I couldn’t discover a proper gluten-free noodle replacement or simply didn’t take the time to discover one.

When I got here throughout the concept of creating noodles from cheese, I in truth wasn’t impressed.  I made lasagna from The Craveable Keto cookbook and I was blown away.  It was AMAZING!  That recipe is what impressed this one, a YEAR later! 

It took me about a YEAR to make my very own lasagna recipe, nevertheless it by no means would have occurred with out the preliminary inspiration.  If you don’t own that cookbook, move purchase it!  It’s AWESOME!

This is simply slightly extra time intensive than a few of my special recipes, but as usual, it's extra than value it.  So set apart about 90 minutes and get to work!

I plan to make a number of batches quickly and freeze them so that I can just pull them out of the freezer, thaw out and practice dinner for a delicious and hassle-free dinner!

What are keto lasagna noodles made of?
These ones are primarily founded on Fat Head Pizza Dough recipe.  Other recipes use zucchini noodles as well.  There are a ton of options.  I personally suppose the cheese-based ones have the closest consistency to usual lasagna noodles.

How to make keto lasagna
We won’t stroll via the total recipe, but I’ll supply you some tips!

First, you could be considering – how within the international can a cheese-based product double as a noodle?  I genuinely requested myself that similar question. 

I took my pizza crust recipe that was primarily founded on the Fat Head Pizza Dough recipe and modified it to make the noddle.  First, the flour needed to go.  I mean, we don’t desire a crust, we desire a noddle!  A few special tweaks and this magnificence was born!

This is what the keto meat lasagna “noodle” layers will seem to be like as quickly as cooked.  You merely slice this into items that you'll then use to layer the lasagna. 

Now, within the recipe once I point out chopping those noodle layers into an 8×8 and 8×4, you merely must make one cut (below right), until it's too big wherein case you must trim off the quit (below left).

Additionally, you could ought to trim the rims slightly extra as you attempt to location it within the dish! 

Now let’s take a peek at assembling every layer.  I went vintage faculty and modeled this after our household lasagna recipe!

And lastly comes the Mozzarella cheese.  Now we repeat those steps (mostly) 3 extra times.  The lastly layers is slightly different, nevertheless the lessons underneath will clarify that!

Literally, those are the actual steps of how I used to make my lasagna years and years ago.

Can you practice lasagna forward of time!
You bet!  There isn't any must practice it and practice dinner it on the similar time!  Keep on studying for extra practice dinner time suggestions!

Do you must disguise lasagna when baking it?
The reply to that depends.  You don't must disguise this whereas baking because the preliminary temperature is purely 350 and it's only at 375 for a quick time.

Now, for those who have been to practice the lasagna forward of time and never practice dinner it, then you’ll must practice dinner it a lot longer wherein case I’d perhaps disguise it for 35-40 minutes at 350 after which discover for 10 minutes at 375.

Baking Dish You will need a deeper 8×8 baking dish!  Glass or ceramic will do just fine.  If it's now not a deep dish, no worries, just set the dish on a baking sheet in case it spills over whereas baking!  This variety of baking dish will work just advantageous too, just set it on a tray!

Baking Sheet Any vintage baking sheet will do occasions TWO!  I occur to love my ceramic ones!

Parchment paper – Even although my shots present the white parchment paper, I in truth have since switched over to the nonbleached parchment paper like this one.

Keto Marinara Sauce
This sauce can in truth be a standalone sauce and is extra or a wonderful deal less what I use for my keto pizza recipe.  A little special (thicker) nevertheless the similar idea.  It works exceptional as a marinara sauce, pizza sauce, breadstick sauce- you title it!
