JUST LIKE THE REAL THING� LOW CARB KETO LASAGNA

Image
Low Carb Pasta Recipes are one of the most requested among those following a low carb, ketogenic lifestyle. This �Just Like the Real Thing� Low Carb Keto Lasagna is sure to become your all time favorite. 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...

Lasagna with broccoli

Image
Delicious! All I did for this recipe was to exchange the noodles for broccoli.  This was delicious.  Just make your lasagna like normal, taking care to watch the carb count in the tomato sauce that you use.  Instead of layering the lasagna noodles with the meat sauce and cheeses, I just dumped the broccoli, cottage cheese, meat sauce and the mozarella cheese all together and mixed them up.  Then I added more mozarella cheese on top to make a nice crust.  Cook it until the cheese is melted and everything is warmed through at 400 degrees. My husband liked this better than the pan of lasagna I made for the boys.  It stayed more moist and had a great flavor.  I think you could use cauliflower or any other vegetable you would like.
