I. Love. Lasagna.

I do not love zucchini.

Almost every recipe that I've seen for a low carb lasagna features sliced zucchini. While that works sometimes, I'm not all about that life.

Don't get me wrong: zucchini is a great vegetable, and extremely useful. I like it...I just don't...you know...LOVE it in my lasagna.

I was encouraged to make this recipe during one of Maya's late night feedings. I've started watching Food Network practically every morning at 3 AM to keep the recipe inspiration high.

Lasagna usually takes a really long time to make, and obviously noodles are not an option, but I wanted to still make a thick and creamy dish that could be layered and remain sturdy.

Enter Cauliflower.

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables to work with because it's rich in nutrients but doesn't carry a strong flavor.

Added with eggs, and mozzarella, cauliflower was the perfect base for this easy keto lasagna's layers.

I can't believe this is low carb. Doesn't it amaze you how many extremely delicious foods you can eat with a low carb/keto lifestyle?

For this recipe I went with an alfredo sauce to cut the carbs down even more.

Feel free to use a tomato-ey sauce for a more traditional taste, but trust me, if you decide not to you won't miss it.

I originally thought about subbing out the beef  with chicken, but the ingredients still flowed together beautifully keeping it the same.

Here's how I made it!

This is sooooo good! I used 2 bags frozen riced cauliflower 10 oz ea.,cooked in the microwave, then tossed in a pan and browned. There was no liquid to have to squeeze out! Perfect!! I added a small can of mushrooms, drained to the ground beef mixture. Everything else as written. Thank you for a great recipe!!

Love, love, love this recipe. I made it for my work lunches and couldn’t get enough of it. I’ve made it tonight for my hubby who doesn’t like traditional lasagne because of the bechamel sauce, I’m hoping he’ll like this new recipe too.

Can't wait to try this recipe. I made a low carb lasagna last night using pre-cooked cabbage leaves for the "noodle" layer. It tasted really good however VERY watery even after I used some paper towel along the sides to absorb the excess liquid!

I made this today and used parchment paper but did not spray it. It stuck very badly. (It was paper parchment not the 1/2 foil kind) I got it off with a LOT of work! I may try that Saran Wrap trick of the trade next time. I also felt I had to double the ricotta mixture because it made so little.
