1 pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ cup minced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 ½ cups marinara sauce
½ cup ricotta cheese, drained
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 large zucchini
salt to taste
1 ½ pounds ground beef
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
½ teaspoon garlic paste
½ teaspoon basil paste
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 (15 ounce) containers whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Place ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; add olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, 1 teaspoon parsley, garlic paste, basil paste, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cover skillet, reduce heat, and simmer sauce 15 minutes.

Repeat layering another 1/3 of the sauce, remaining zucchini, remaining ricotta mixture, and remaining sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese. Coat a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray and cover lasagna with it, oiled-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until bubbly and browned, 5 to 10 minutes more.

A rich-tasting traditional lasagna, except for the pasta! Use 3 low-carb tortillas in place of the noodles - just don't forget to add the tortillas' carb count to this total.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb ground beef
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 drops liquid Splenda
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
grated parmesan cheese, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Spray an 7" round (2" deep) cake pan with non-stick vegetable oil spray. I use a 7" spring form pan.
  • In a heavy skillet, brown the ground beef, stirring to break it up, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat from pan.
  • Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, the seasonings, and the sweetener.
  • Simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the egg, the Parmesan, pepper, and the parsley.
  • Assemble lasagna : Trim 3 low-carb tortillas to 7" circles, to fit into the pan, if necessary.
  • Spread a spoonful of meat sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay one tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup meat sauce, then use half of the remaining sauce to cover the tortilla.
  • Dollop half of the ricotta mixture over the meat sauce.
  • Reserve a couple tablespoons of mozzarella for the top. Sprinkle half of the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  • Top with a second low-carb tortilla, and repeat the layering: meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.
  • Top with a third low-carb tortilla. Spread with the reserved meat sauce and sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella and with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 to 25 additional minutes, till bubbly hot.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Cut into four wedges and serve.
  • If you use a 3 net carb tortilla, each serving is about 9 net carbs.
