Ingredients for Keto Lasagna

This keto lasagna bake uses simple ingredients, and there’s no layering involved! Here’s what you’ll need to make the low-carb lasgana:  

• Italian Sausage
• Zucchini
• Spinach
• Low Carb Marinara
• Cream Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Green Onions
• Garlic
• Mozzarella

How to Make Keto 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 method 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-friendly lasagna 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!

1. This dish starts by browning your the Italian sausage in an oven-safe dish, like a cast iron skillet.
2. Drain off the grease and add sliced zucchini, chopped spinach and sauté. This step cooks out a lot of the moisture from the vegetables.
3. Stir in a low-carb marinara and allow the mixture to simmer.
4. While the lasagna base simmers, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, garlic and mozzarella cheese in a small mixing bowl. 
5. Drop the cream cheese mixture and spread over the meat and vegetable mixture.
6. Top with shredded mozzarella and bake! 

Can I Substitute the Italian Sausage? 

Yes, you’re welcome to use ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken instead. Just note that Italian sausage is packed with spices, so you may want to add additional herbs and spices to the skillet to make up for it. 

What to Serve with Keto Lasagna 

Here are some side dish suggestions for this low-carb lasagna skillet:

Tips for Making Low-Carb Lasagna 

• To keep this a one-pan meal, you’ll need to sauté the veggies and brown the meat in an oven-safe skillet. This way, you won’t have to transfer the meat mixture before baking the dish. 
• Feel free to use mild or hot Italian sausage in this recipe. 
• Use brick-style cream cheese for this keto-friendly lasagna, not cream cheese spread.
