Low Carb Lasagna

Low Carb Lasagna

January 13, 2023

Lasagna is a dish that most people love, but when you are trying to cut carbs, it can be a food that is “off limits”. But not with this recipe. While this lasagna is lower in carb than the traditional lasagna, it doesn’t mean it is low on flavor. You still get that full flavor of meat sauce and herbs with the layers of protein packed ricotta and mozzarella cheese that bring this dish together. It can be a quick weeknight dinner by using your favorite pasta sauce or you can make your own sauce and really build up those flavors.  Either way, you won’t feel guilty for indulging in a piece of low carb lasagna and your family will enjoy it too. 

This easy low carb lasagna recipe is meaty, cheesy, and packed full of flavor in every bite. Homemade lasagna is better than any restaurant version by far and it feeds a crowd for way less than going out to eat.
