How do you make a low carb lasagna?

Most low carb lasagnas are made in a casserole dish like traditional lasagna and there are layers of meat, sauce, ricotta, cheese and zucchini slices. The casserole is then baked until gold and bubbly. This is a fine way for a low carb substitute but often the dish can be far too watery because of the zucchini. It can also be hard to keep even a low carb lasagna keto compliant because so many of the ingredients naturally have carbs and those counts add up quickly. 

My Keto Lasagna Skillet cuts out a ton of the work by making it all in one skillet. There is no layering, no slicing and sweating the zucchini to try to remove the water. It is much easier!

This dish starts by browning your the Italian sausage in an oven proof dish, like a cast iron skillet. Drain off the grease and add sliced zucchini, chopped spinach and sauté. This step cooks out a lot of the moisture from the vegetables. 

Then stir in a low carb marinara and allow the mixture to simmer. While the lasagna base simmers combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, garlic and mozzarella cheese in a small mixing bowl. Then drop the cream cheese mixture and spread over the meat and vegetable mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella and bake!
