This low carb keto lasagna recipe is easy to make and tastes just like the real thing. In fact, over the years, I have been told many times that it should be called “Better Than the Real Thing” lasagna. When I was first starting a low carb, ketogenic lifestyle, I really wanted a low carb and gluten free pasta substitution. But at the time, they were really hard to find, and the keto pasta recipes that I could find, we just plain no good! I was tired of wasting food trying low carb recipes that fell flat. Sound familiar? I knew I had to set out to make my own low carb, real food versions. There were two recipes that I immediately knew I wanted to make – a low carb mac and cheese and a low carb lasagna. So, I did exactly that. They were two of the very first recipes I ever wrote for this site and 6 years later, they are still among the most popular.
The first time I made this low carb keto lasagna, I served it to Jon without telling him that it was an impasta (get it? impasta?) and he had no idea. Once I told him, he was even more impressed. It is low carb comfort food at it’s finest. Although it does take a little meal prep work, it is definitely worth it to have a healthier version that you can eat whenever you want.
You can even make the low carb noodles in advance and freeze them. Having the noodles done ahead of time makes for a quick and easy low carb meal. Perfect for those busy weeknights. If you want to go a step further, you can even swap out the low carb marinara sauce and ground beef in this recipe for my Low Carb Hearty Tomato Meat Sauce Recipe. I like to make a double batch of that sauce and portion it out into individual freezer meals so that I always have it on hand. If you have a stash of the noodles and the sauce in the freezer at all times, this meal comes together so quickly. This is a great example of why I talk about the importance of food prep in my low carb and gluten free meal plans. Spend one day a week batch cooking and prepping and then it is smooth sailing for the rest of the week!
I’ll even let you in on a little secret. about the “noodles” portion of this low carb keto lasagna recipe… They also make for an amazing nut free pizza crust. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself. Low Carb Nut Free Pizza Crust

Pin RecipeIngredients
For the “Noodles”:
- 2 large eggs
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups Three Cheese Marinara Sauce, divided (get the recipe here)
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 tbsp whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 tbsp minced onion flakes (I use this brand)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
For the “Noodles”:
- This part will take the longest, so feel free to make the “noodles” the night before and just leave them in the fridge until you are ready for them.
- Preheat oven to 375° Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese and eggs.
- Next, add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in mozzarella cheese and mix until well incorporated.
- Spread the mixture into the baking dish, forming a nice even layer.
- Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.
- When the “noodles” are done baking, cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut into thirds. This makes three perfectly sized “noodle” layers for an 8.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 loaf pan.
For the Filling:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, minced onion, oregano, garlic powder, dried basil and a pinch of salt. Cook until the meat is browned.
- Drain excess fat from pan and add ¾ cup marinara sauce to meat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Putting it all together:
- Pour ¼ cup marinara sauce into bottom of loaf pan. Top with the first “noodle” layer
- Layer a third of the ground beef mixture. Top with ¼ cup mozzarella cheese and 3 tbsp ricotta cheese, and cover with another “noodle” layer. Repeat these steps.
- Cover the top “noodle” layer with remaining ground beef, and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over top. Bake for 20 minutes.

I’ve found a pasta sauce that has a really low carb count. It’s 3 or 4 per 1/2 cup serving (can’t remember for sure). The brand is “Rao’s” and it’s really great. Lasagna is one of my faves, I usually pick around the noodles, but I’ll try these next time. Thanks!!!
Yessss,RAO!.They also have low carb vodka penni sauce. It taste fantastic, with zoodles. I make shrimp vodka penne! Rao’s sauce are low carb.not sure if gluten free. Check th ingredience.
Raos is awesome! That’s all I use!
Your recipes are simply AWESOME! Thank you and please continue to add more!
We tried the lasagna and my husband loved it! Then made the noodle recipe again and used it for a pizza crust. It was great and super easy!
Can’t wait to try the tuna casserole.
My husband has lost almost eighty pounds because of websites like yours. Having a variety of recipes keeps him on track. Thank you so much!
Congratulations to Paula’s husband!
Does anyone know whether you can make this ahead of time? I wanted to prep it at home for a road trip..
Thanks!
Thank you and I definitely will keep posting new recipes
Very good indeed…even the bottomless pit guys in my house chose ‘my side’ of the lasagna over theirs with regular noodles! I tweaked it with fresh garlic, onion and basil in the meat mixture and loved the ‘noodles’ – thanks for all your work in making some great recipes!
Thank you very much!
Looks delicious Can you add the calorie count per serving?
I made the pizza crust, even though is not crunchy it was very good, after done it my toppings were: mozzarella, ricotta, spinach, onions, red bell pepper, black olives and sausage, OMG it was sooooooooo good! Thank you very much for this delicious recipe. I enjoyed it a lot….
First we found your nachos and now Low Carb Lasagna?? Really?!?!? God Bless You, Holley!!! I just asked my wife is we could invite you to be her first sister wife. LOL
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delish. Thanks so much!
OMG.. BY far THE best recipe I have tried for Lasagna Low Carb or NOT!! I made mine in two small loaf pans since I didn’t have a regular loaf pan and my husband couldn’t stop eating it (and he’s not the one dieting!)
Honestly, same here! Made the noodles and sauce last night and had the lasagna at church today. (Just me and my mom since we’re eating keto. We brought regular lasagne for everyone else.) It was amazing. Best lasagne I have ever had. ever. Both the noodles and the sauce are delicious, and it was all super easy. I did blend my sauce with an immersion blender to get rid of the large tomato chunks. My brother and I hate those.
I will absolutely be making it again.
Can’t wait to make this tonight! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!!!!!
Made this tonight…O.M.G. delicious!!! Loved, loved, loved the “noodles”! Doubled the noodles so I could make a larger dish of this. I can’t rave enough about it. Thank you!
making this right now… smells deeeeeelicious!
Made this last night. Oh so good! It will be a keeper in our house.
Thank you for this recipe! My husband is diabetic and I was looking for recipe alternatives (lasagna is my fav) that were low carb—plus no zucchini “noodles”. I cannot wait to try it out this weekend ^_^ Please keep up the great work and add more recipes.
To follow-up, I made this last night since we had some left over ricotta in the fridge. My husband said it was better than original lasagna (w/noodles). Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This will definitely be part of my dinner rotation ^_^
I made this for Superbowl Sunday and it was AWESOME! Thank you so much! This Italian and her super PICKY husband loved it!!!
OMG!!! I love you for posting this!!! I have been looking for a low carb version as I love my lasagna and was unsure what to use for the noodles. THANK YOU!!!
This was awesome, , I made it for my family and now am making it for a dinner party. . I am excited to share this with my friends.
Thank you for the great ideas.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! So good.
I made this last night and my husband and I were in heaven. This is incredible and really easy.
Any chance you can create a white sauce version? My husband can’t have tomato-ey stuff. I will, however, be trying this for me :).
Yes! Me too… I can’t have tomatoes, but I love italian dishes. Would love to try this with a white sauce!
You should check out the chicken cordon bleu lasagna recipe on my site. Sounds like it might be a great fit. 🙂
Has anyone tried to make this ahead of time? I would like to assemble and then bake the next night. Or should I bake it and reheat it?
Ours was amazing the first night but even better second night reheated!
★★★★★
Does this freeze well? When I make lasagna I usually make a double batch and freeze / cook it in smaller baking dishes since I’m cooking for one (most of the time).
Thanks!
Hi Mellie, I have never frozen it. If you try it, report back and let us all know how it holds up. 🙂
I’m wondering if it can be pre-prepped and frozen to be baked up to a few days later when I’ll have guests. Has anyone tried?
How did it end up holding up after freezing and cooking? Did you freeze it uncooked or cooked? Want to make a bunch of Keto post partum food for the chest freezer!! Thanks!
I made this last night and my husband and I loved it. Such a great idea. I’ve tried the zucchini style lasagna and it just didn’t do it for me, but this is awesome!! Thanks for the great recipes.
I made this tonight and the whole family loved it!!!! Thanks so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! What a clever way to make a substitute for noodles! And so delicious! My husband, who can eat anything and never gain an ounce was over the moon, and did not notice the “faux” noodles. I used my own marinara sauce (basically the same but without the added cheese) and gave it a little depth with some hot paprika paste, and used fresh herbs and garlic. I can`t wait to try more of your recipes. You have talent, gal!
Thanks for the awesome compliment. I am so happy that you enjoyed it.
I LOVED this! You are amazing. Can’t wait to follow you going forward!
Amazing! Scrumptious!
Sadly, burned the first 2 batches of noodles, and the overall dish. Be really careful with temperature and baking times!
So I didn’t see the temp for what I should bake this at. I saw the noodles were at 375. Is that the temp for the full lasagna too?
This recipe rocks! Everyone in the family loves this even my parents think it’s as good as the real thing. It freezes and reheats really well. I usually make 3 or 4 at a time and it’s great to have them to pull out of the freezer for a busy weeknight!
I wish I would have made more when I made this for the first time! Great idea! My family absolutely loved this!
Did you bake it before freezing?
good to know it freezes well…did you defrost before cooking or cook from frozen ?
So I made this meatless (for lent)… and the first night it was just ok maybe cause I used the “noodles” right after they cooled… but the days following it so good. I can’t wait until I’m eating meat again… Thanks!
AMAZING!!!!! Just perfect! We loved this recipe! Better than regular lasagna. The flavor in the “noodles” is just wonderful!
I substituted fat free ricotta and used low fat mozz. I also used ground turkey instead of beef. I just can’t get over how great this recipe is.
THANK YOU!
So so delicious!
Wow! I just stumbled upon this today and since it was cold and rainy, I was in the perfect mood for this. I haven’t made regular lasagna in years, since it makes such a mess and this was easier than “real” lasagna, but just as tasty. Thank you! This will go in the regular rotation.
My friends and family LOVE this lasagna, even more than regular lasagna. My daughter brought the lasagna noodles in her lunch and her friends are now asking for the recipe. Thank you.
Holy cow! Best lasagna recipe EVER! This is better than my “old” pasta one! 🙂
Very good! I found a marinara sauce with 4 carbs per 1/2 cup and had real ingredients. Brand was Mezzetta and I bought it at Publix
Thank you so much for this recipe. This is my second time making it and we all love it.!!
I made this this past weekend. It is very good and as good as “real” lasagna with noodles. A winner for me.
I guess I am missing something. How do you get e layers of noodles from the one pan?
3 noodles are cut from the 9X13 pan. The noodles are then layered into a single loaf pan.
This lasagna is amazing. I just made it for the first time last night and was floored at how well it turned out. My family prefers this version to the “old” way. It was delicious. Thank you so much ! You are amazing….I love reading about your real life struggles and the real food you are eating. So glad to see you are back !!!
Thank you for this. I’ve been running out of low carb ideas for my dieting husband. This one opens up so many possibilities! Made this tonight and am just waiting for him to come home to try it. Smells divine.
So very good. And, it was better the second day! My carb eater husband even loved it!
Also, she’s right about the noodles being a good pizza crust, too. I made some extra and stored them in the fridge. I just topped the “noodles” with some cheese and pepperoni and baked on a parchment lined pan at 425 until bubbly and golden brown. Delicious!
I was soooo skeptical, but have to agree that this version actually surpassed regular lasagna in our house! Wow it’s yummy. I tripled the noodle recipe and spread it on 2 large cookie sheets in order to make a 9×12 lasagna, and it was perfect. The “noodles” themselves are pretty tasty… trying to think what else to do with them! The funny thing, both my boyfriend and I found this to be so filling – normally we’d go back for seconds when something tastes this good (hense the change in diet!) but neither of us had the room. Had a piece reheated the next day for lunch and could barely finish. Bonus!!!! Really excellent job!
Made this tonight for supper, like it better than regular pasta noodle lasagna. Delicious.
OMG, this was da bomb…Husband loved it, and he doesn’t even like low-carb meals…can’t wait to make it again next week…thanks for the recipe!!!!
This was really, REALLY good. In fact, if I didn’t know it didn’t have actual pasta, I’m not sure I would be able to tell! One of the best low carb recipes I’ve tried. Thank you so much!
Holy deliciousness! Made with 1.5 lbs. browned uncased Italian sausage. My husband who’s also low carbing LOVED it! Thanks!!!
This lasagna is insanely delicious!! It is the first recipe I give to friends who want to go low carb and think they can’t. Thank you so much!
So happy you enjoy it enough to share it. Thanks for the kind words.
This looks like a great recipe. What size baking pan do you use? Thanks,
Oh.My.Damn!!! This is so good!!! It’s not just good as real thing – it’s better than real thing!!! Thank you for this awesome recipe!!!
This sounds too good to be true! I usually cook lunches on Sunday and then re-heat during the week for work. Has anyone had luck with this dish as leftovers, even a few days later?
Thanks!!
First, I would like to thank you for all the time spent developing your recipes. I made a few changes to make it more like my own higher carb recipe….instead of your marinara, I used Rao’s out of the jar…only 2 net carbs per 1/2 cup. And I used 1 cup whole milk ricotta and added one egg and Italian seasonings and a little salt.
My only problem was the size of the loaf pan I used. I saw that you used glass….so I did the same and could only get 2 layers in….but I did have a 9×5 bread metal bread pan so I just put some sauce in the bottom and turned out the glass loaf pan into it….it was upside down, but I still needed to add a layer so it all worked out. It is in the oven now…can’t wait to try it….can’t imagine it won’t be the most delish thing I have had lately…..7+ months with no “pasta”….this should be a treat. Thanks so much
Had to let you know how delicious the lasagna was….iin fact, I have another in the oven right now. I got 6 healthy servings out of mine……4 would have been way too much. I found that it was even better the next day. I just left it in the loaf pan and sliced a serving and heated in the microwave….added a bit more Rao’s marinara sauce to the top…delish.
I made this recipe over the weekend and OMG it was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
So happy you enjoyed it!!
Delicious!! We loved it!
Had to post a pic on my FB and now I have several inquiries about recipe.
I’m certainly sharing and hope they find it equally scrumptious!
Thank you so much for this recipe. The only thing I changed was that I used Italian sausage instead of hamburger and did not use ricotta. I prepared this several days ago and froze in four mini loaf pans to have individual servings. I couldn’t finish a whole serving so had the left over just now for breakfast. It tasted as good or better than my old lasagna using pasta noodles. Thank you so so much!
Phenomenal! My picky PICKY husband loved it and we both agreed it’s every bit as good as the real deal. You don’t miss the pasta at all! I made the real deal for my kids and this for my husband and I. The kids tried it and all said they’d be happy eating it. You can’t tell the difference! You are pure magic! Thank you for giving me back one of my favorite foods!
Yay! So happy you liked it. Any meal that is husband AND kid approved is a winner.
this is amazing!! Ive made it twice and nobody missed the high carb pasta. I thought the cheezy noodles were better than the high carb pasta. Thanks for a great recipe!!
Made an almost dairy-free version . . . used leftover Almond nut pulp from Almond milk . . . works just like ricotta cheese . . . my husband Loved it and so did I . . . still used eggs and 1 ounce of kefalotyri cheese and it’s wonderful. Thanks for all the hard work!
I’ve got to say, this is amazing. Lasagna is my trademark recipe that all my friends love. Since my husband has gone low carb, it’s not been an option. I tried this recipe last weekend and was amazed. I didn’t change a thing. While I didn’t set out to improve it, I made it again today and changed one thing and it is even better. I didn’t think that would be possible. I made your noodle recipe and instead of baking it in one 13×9 pan I used the same recipe but split it between two 13×9 pans to make 6 smaller noodles. I also used the leftover sauce form last weekend. OH MY GOODNESS. Those smaller noodles literally dissolved and became almost pasta like. Thank you for sharing. I have a feeling my husband will be requesting this often.
Did you make 6 layers or did you make a double batch of the filling and use two loaf pans?
WOW, WOW, WOW
This is unbelievably delicious!! Made to recipe but did add an egg yoke to the Ricotta.We had an emergency so we put all the ingredients in the fridge and assembled the next day. It baked for 50 minutes to get to 160 degrees internal. Tented the cheese on top after the first twenty minutes. This has all the texture and flavor of the real deal. Next go around I’ll make sure i have an additional few tablespoons of marinara as it was a little drier than I care for.
Thank you for creating this gastronomical delight!!!!
I skip the mozzarella on top while baking…always Brown’s too much and with all the other cheeses you really don’t miss it.
This was amazing! My husband and I both thought it tasted like the “real” thing. Thanks for such a great recipe!
This recipe is amazing!!! Oh my gosh!!
Do you know if this can be cut into individual portions and frozen to reheat later? It seams like even real pasta gets a little mushy after freezing.
Thank you!
wow this is so good. I froze leftovers, and reheated a month later just as good. really just amazing. loved it
Thank you for this info. I’ve been looking for someone to say how they froze it, cooked or uncooked. Love that we could make several and freeze individual portions for easy future suppers.
I made this last night and loved it!!! Will Will be making this again!
I’m doing your diet bet this month and just made this for dinner. Holy Smokes!!!! Amazing!!! That sauce is incredible. Thank you!
OMG…made this over the weekend. A little bit of work but I doubled sauce recipe and froze it for next time. This was insanely delicious – REALLY. Hubbie ate it and had no idea they weren’t real noodles. Well worth a little time and making the “noodles” ahead of time and leaving them in refrigerator worked just fine.
So happy you enjoyed it. Yes, it is definitely a little more time consuming than traditional lasagna, but so, so worth it.
I just made this recipe for our dinner tonight. I did use a different sauce, but it was delicious. I recently found out I have a truck load of food allergies. I am enjoying exploring your website and finding new recipes that work with my food restrictions.
I tried it tonight and it was amazing! Better than the traditional. Thank you!
Super impressed with this recipe. I also used another sauce, but my family loved it. Thanks for an outstanding recipe!
This has been my go-to lasagna for years now! I don’t bother with any other recipe because there is no point! Right now, we are house-sitting in Barbados and I made a few loaf pans of it and froze it and brought it with us….We have it once a week. It is definitely the best!
Thank you for this recipe! It’s CRAZY good. I didn’t know I was missing lasagne until my first bite. But this is really delicious!
I just made a double batch of this tonight!! I had extra “noodles” because I made smaller pans, which I used up making single serving pans. This was sooooo good!! I put the extras in my freezer for quick low carb dinners. 🙂 Thank you for this awesome recipe.
Absolutely amazing. Made this tonight for my dad who doesn’t eat low carb and he couldn’t believe how tasty it was!! Thanks for the great recipes!!
Congrats on your upcoming cookbook releases! They look beautiful and this lasagna looks delicious!
This sounds amazing! I’ve been using a thickish slice of provolone or swiss cheese as a noodle (it holds up really well and adds an extra cheesy flavor!), but I can’t wait to try this too!
So, I really do not leave comments but felt like I had to with this one. My husband who is not a big noodle fan was amazed at how good this was. We couldn’t believe how much it tasted like lasagna!!!! The only complaint that I had was that I should have made more. I’ve been asked to keep this one in the rotation.
Awesome!! So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking a moment to tell me. 🙂
I was a big carb fan with lasagna being on the top of my list. Started going kept about 4 weeks ago and was really missing all pasta’s then I came across this recipe. One word : FAN-F%$KING-TASTIC!!!! It was unbelievable I would even venture to say it was better than my ‘regular’ lasagna recipe. Husband couldn’t believe it was kept but was very happy to hear it was 9.5g of carbs. Then I find a nacho recipe?!?! Guess whats for dinner tomorrow!
This recipe says 4 servings but I easily get 8 out of it….this and a side salad or veggies is plenty.
Kyndra this dish is so amazingly delicious! You have outdone yourself. My hubby has finally started keto with me after watching me a couple months and he was worried about what he will be eating. If he will like it. Well today helped to assuage his worries after eating this. Thanks again for sharing!
This I my First time making my own Keto Meal, my husband is the chef Im a stylist. It was uber delicious!
So happy you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much.
Love how and who you are!! The world needs more people like you ❤️❤️
Awe! Thank you so much! 🙂
This is brilliant! I am totally intrigued by those “noodles”.
I love this type of lasagna recipe! So much lighter.
So much better than watery zucchini noodles!
this recipes is so good! you could eat the noodles by their self i will make this over and over,my husband liked it to… and he doesen’t eat the same foods as me.
I’m so glad you both like it!
I just used your “Noodle” recipe to make the bread for panini sandwiches and it turned out PERFECT!! It was sturdy enough, crispy enough and of course DELICIOUS enough!
P.S. I loved the lasagna too!
What is a serving size? Id prefer to make this for myself, in a smaller dish but can’t gather just what the serving size would be, as i don’t want to mess the carbs up too much.
1/4 of the pan. Cut it into equal fourths and that is the serving size.
This was Epic! Thank you so much. When the sheets came out of the oven I thought what the hell have I done- conned by another recipe but… When this lasagne came out of the oven O. M. GOSH!!!!! I’m glad I made the extra to go in the freezer. Do I need to defrost these before making again?
Thank you again from us in the UK who seriously lack yummy low carb recipes
I love this review! Thank you so much! I think you could use them frozen for sure.
Wow it’s all I can say! Couldn’t believe how the noodles were not missed because these tasted just like noodles. Delicious. Thank you for this recipe!
Life changing! Thank you so much…
This lasagna is legit AF! My new favoritw recipe!!!
Ok, I was skeptical because diet food usually has a lower taste bar. BUT I made my usual lasagna sauce and made half of a 9×13 with regular noodles and the other half with the “noodles” from this recipe. Had guests over who are not doing keto and the keto half was the only half of the pan eaten! Our guests had seconds and chose the keto side! My husband is an ultra runner and has asked me to make this as his night-before-the-race meal in two weeks. He echoes others’ comments saying he likes these “noodles” better than the real thing. And he’s 1/4 Italian! Thank you for the recipe! By the way, I doubled the “noodle” recipe to make enough “noodles” for 2 layers of a 9×13 pan. They’re thicker than regular noodles so the lasagna tends to be a little taller.
TOTAL WIN! Entire family approved…even the picky kids. My kids have requested just the “noodles” for a snack. I’m using them for a keto pizza crust tonight since my budget has run dry, but I have tons of cream cheese and mozzarella! Seriously, delicious.. Used Rao’s marinara (I work full time and have 3 adolescent boys= no time). Made this on my day off.
i now use these noodles as my go to pizza crust as my whole family loves this recipe! Thank you!!
This sounds delicious, I will be making this when I purchase all the ingredients. i just started on the low carb diet.
Instantly a favorite in my house. It really is the best lasagna ever!
First of all. I have never made Lasagna before. Heck, I don’t normally bake.; more of a wok girl. Just made this dish and it is delicious like you all rave about. Thank you for sharing.
Wow this is better than regular lasagna! Thanks for sharing!!!!
So I made this today and the family loved it! They said it was so much better than regular lasagna. I did modify the recipe a little and added mushrooms and fresh onion to the ground beef mix. Also layered pepperoni in between the noodles and sauce. Scrumptious and very filling!
★★★★★
My hubby loves this! He requests it often and he is not on Keto!
★★★★★
This is undeniably a 5 star keto lasagna! Simply AMAZING.
★★★★★
This is crazy delicious! I usually avoid copycat recipes for Keto, but I loved this. The “noodles” are tasty in their own right. I didn’t feel like I was missing out on carbs at all. Make this!
★★★★★
I make a lot of meat spaghetti sauce at once and freeze the leftovers in individual meal-size bags, so I was ready to roll with this recipe! it took about 7-8 minutes from the time I got the noodle ingredients out and threw them into the food processor, until I spread it in the pan and put it in the oven. Once the noodles were baked and cooled, it took about 5 more minutes to assemble the lasagna and stick it in the oven.
This lasagna, a big salad, and a piece of garlic toast for DH made us both very happy. He actually couldn’t get enough and went back for seconds and thirds and raved about how great this lasagna is. What a wonderful recipe!
★★★★★
This. Was. AMAZING!!!
I followed the directions to a t. I only get 3 servings for a 9×12 casserole dish. The noodles only make 1 layer. You’d have to make 2 more batches of noodles for this to work.
The recipe calls for a loaf pan and the noodle layer is cut in thirds
Read it again. This recipe works perfectly. The lasagna is very filling as well. You get a loaf pan of lasagna but it is certainly enough for 4 servings.
Yep! Cut “noodle” in thirds and make lasagna in loaf pan. Makes 4 servings for us.
Can I please say thank you thank you thank you! I just started following a Keto lifestyle a couple weeks ago and have been experimenting with lots of things with some major “I won’t make that again” moments. This, however is a keeper! The noodles smelled amazing and the flavor is just as good. I won’t be missing noodles anymore. I’ll be making your Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna to take to my family’s Easter pot luck. I know it’s going to be a hit!
I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
I’ve made this recipe before and it tastes amazing! But mine didn’t slice well, probably because I used too much sauce. So this time I’m going to follow the recipe exactly. The recipe calls for 1-1/2 cups of marinara but I only see where 1 cup is used in the directions (3/4 c mixed with the filling and 1/4c in the bottom of the pan). Where does the extra 1/2 cup of sauce go?
★★★★★
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love it! My husband and I are in our third month of a low carb life, and we needed some “pasta”. He loves lasagna and I made this as a surprise for him – it was absolutely delicious!!
★★★★★
Oh my word – how have I not discovered your blog before now? I am absolutely thrilled to find a low-carb lasagna recipe that doesn’t substitute some abominated form of zucchini or cauliflower for noodles! (HALLELUJAH – my husband might actually eat it!)
All these great reviews mean this recipe goes on my short list of low-carb dishes to try. Thank you so much for sharing!
My husband loved this recipe and he doesn’t usually even like regular lasagna. He said he wants it on our regular rotation. I used Rao’s vodka marinara, which is expensive at $6 per jar.. I may try to double the recipe next time and use a larger pan. Also, I always shred my own cheese because it tastes fresher and doesn’t have the additives of preshredded. Thanks for bringing comfort food back to the low carb lifestyle!

If you’re ‘thinking’ about making this…. get busy and make it! It’s amazing you wont regret it! I love this recipe, we crave it! I don’t this title is appropriate, it’s NOT “just-like-the-real-thing”, It’s better than the real thing.

OMG this was EVERYTHING!!! i fell off the keto low carb track and stumbled on to this by way of the List serve & man oh man i may be ready for a strong comeback. and easy prep as well. DH (who critiizes EVERYTHING) cannot stop raving. Thanks my love!!
This recipe is the bomb!!! I can’t believe how close to the real thing it taste like. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow was this unbelievable good. The “lasagna Noodles” where absolutely perfect this recipe is perfect. I didn’t tell family members it was grain free and they swore this was the best Lasagna they ever had! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, it is a true gem!

Made this last night and currently enjoying leftovers for lunch. This is DELISH!!!! One of the best low carb recipes I’ve had!
UNBELIEVABLE!! So delicious. I started on the Keto diet 3 weeks ago and my husband always goes on my diets with me to support me. He loved this and said it was better than the regular lasagna with pasta in it. It was sooooooo goood. I cannot believe the “noodles” texture, it is perfect. No one would know it is a Keto dish. PERFECT! Thank you so much for coming up with all your delicious recipes, it is a life-saver for those of us trying to eat right. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Amazing. Used Rao sauce and did not see where to put it in the layers except on the bottom and meat mix itself, and it was gooey and amazing. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh! I’ve been stuck in a rut. Hubby just started Keto last week. I’ve been doing it for about a year. I made th lasagna before going to an appointment and left it out for my hubby. When I got home he wa like “omg! Omg!” lol. Huge success! It’s the bom! Thank you so much. I’m purchasing your “craveable” cook book to put some zing into our meal plan. Thank you! You rock!
I rarely leave comments, but HAD to let you know that this is absolutely the best recipe I have tried doing Keto! It’s seriously delicious and I’ve made it many times now. I just can’t get over how the egg and cheese mixture tastes like real noodles! You’re brilliant, and I thank you for sharing this with us!!!
★★★★★
This keto lasagna tastes amazing and could pass for an original/unmodified lasagna.
LOVE the recipe but the only question I have for ANYONE who’s made the dish is, how do you avoid the “boodle
from sticking to the parchment paper? Thanks in Advance!!
Did you accidentally use wax paper instead. Wax paper and parchment paper are not the same.
Delicious! You’d never know this was a low carb dish. I prefer this over regular lasagna noodles. Husband approved!
★★★★★
The best lasagna I’ve ever had! Thank you so much. Followed the recipe exactly and it was unbelievable good. My whole family devoured it.
★★★★★
I have made this quite a few times because it is SO darn popular with the fam!! Thanks, Kyndra, for putting together such a fabulous website as well as all these yummy recipes!! I do have one question for you: the recipe says four servings. Is that correct? I used the pan size recommended and have found that unless I have teenage boys eating (which I don’t!), that pan usually results in 6-8 servings. Because the lasagna is so rich and filling, eating 1/4 of that pan would be waaaaay too much. Just curious if anyone else has found that. If not, maybe it’s just me!
★★★★★
I felt 4 servings would be too big and I was wanting it to be less carbs so I divided it into 6 servings & both me & my husband thought that was plenty.
I have professionally cooked for thirty five years and that is one of the best lasagnas that I have ever made.
My granddaughter and I made this last night and it was amazing!!! Thank you for all the excellent recipes — it’s given me the jump start to a new lifestyle. Live it and my husband did too.
This was absolutely delicious. The ‘noodle’ is genius. My husband agrees, this is better than a real noodle lasagna. I doubled the recipe, put it all together and froze it for a few days, took it out to thaw overnight and baked it. It was so dang good. THANK YOU for this ingenious recipe and all the others on your site. You are amazing and your efforts are appreciated so very much!

Has anyone tried this in a crock pot or slow cooker? I’ve done regular lasagna in it for years, but I’m not sure how this one would do!
This was soooooo good! I made my own sauce from scratch (basically meat, onions, red pepper, garlic, celery, can of tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste) and let it simmer down. But I even screwed up the noodles slightly, in that I used a slightly too small pan, and it still was a hit with my non-keto/low-carb boyfriend, who grew up in Chicago and is a total pasta/pizza snob. The “noodles” were perfect…they were the right texture to mimic real noodles so you didn’t feel like you were just eating a glob of cheese and meat, but they also were neutral enough in flavor so you didn’t feel like you were eating eggs. Zucchini noodles didn’t have the right texture, but this was perfect. I’m SOOOO impressed and am going to keep experimenting with the noodle recipe to see if I can’t come up with some other variations to use in different recipes. Thank you!
★★★★★
Found your website via Pinterest (just started Keto). This was AMAZING! I’m going to try freezing it for busy nights, and I’m also going to try turning your noodles into some other noodle needing dishes.
★★★★★
Used it for a pizza base too. Cooked the 25 minutes, put the toppings on, and then another 10. I could pick it up and my husband said it was the best non pizza crust he’d ever had. Next up- noodles for beef stroganoff
I completely forgot to put in the ricotta and it was still an amazing dish! Can’t wait to try it with the ricotta!
★★★★★
I made this lasagna last night for dinner. It was AMAZING!! The only change I made was to do 1/2 beef and 1/2 italian sausage for the meat, otherwise followed the recipe exactly as written. I was very intrigued on how the “noodles” would turn out. They were magically the same texture as real pasta noodles!! I quietly served this to my non-keto family and no one noticed the difference. This will be added to the regular dinner rotation. Thank you!!!
★★★★★
We loved this!!!! I have a very picky, super skinny, carb-addicted son and he ate almost half of it. Next time I’ll add more pepper flakes because we’re all about the spice. Could I do the same “noodle” recipe with pepper jack and cheddar? Would the cheddar be too oily? I’m asking because I’m thinking it would make great “dumplings” for chicken and dumplings? I’m I being silly? Anyway! Thank you so much for making keto about more than just the meat.
★★★★★
I love this LC recipe because it doesn’t taste low carb. I also like to just make the noodles and melt mozzarella on them to make breadsticks. Dipped in ranch they are amazing.
★★★★★
Amazing recipe! I made it today, and everyone enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🏻😊🌷
This is an awesome recipe and spot on for flavor!!! It’s even better if you let it sit a day before baking or reheated when the marinara blends in real well. Thank you for sharing the recipe!!!
My lasagna is cooking right now. I’m sire it will be amazing because that sauce is unbelievable!!! I used to buy Prego but I will make my own from now on…it’s that good! I sat and ate at least 1/2 c of it while I waited for he noodles to cool. Thanks for some awesome ideas. You’re helping to save my back, my joints and MY LIFE,!
★★★★★
I made this for my husband and I for dinner and he is like having a toddler in the house, he doesn’t like anything! He loved it! In fact I had to hide some for my lunch. It really is the best lasagna ever. It is so perfect I am making it for my seniors at my recreation center in October because they wanted a catered Italian lunch! I will report back with how it goes. I am going to have to quadruple the recipe and make 2 9 x 13 pans and I will serve a salad with it. Thank you so much for this recipe Kyndra!!!

I made this yesterday for my wife and I and we were extremely surprised by the outcome. It was delicious!!!
A few slight adjustments to the recipe: First, I used Rao’s marinara. I also didn’t add the spice mix to the beef until it was almost done and then just incorporated it and let it bloom for 30 seconds or so before adding the marinara. The beef mixture also needed just a little bit of water–my mixture was a little too dry.
The next time I make it I’m going to adjust slightly for our palates: 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp red pepper flakes with the beef . I think also adding a little bit of fresh basil (chiffonade cut) on top after it comes out of the oven would give it a good fresh herb boost.
Thanks for the great recipe!
