Keto Lasagna has layers of beef, mozzarella, ricotta cheese, and for the “noodle” an egg white wrap. Satisfy your Italian cravings with this Keto meal!
EASY KETO LASAGNA RECIPE
Traditional lasagna is the the ultimate comfort food. There’s no reason you should be able to eat a cheesy lasagna on the Keto lifestyle.
We’ve had many keto lasagnas over the years. The hardest thing about the Keto diet is replacing the lasagna noodle with something that actually holds its shape in a low carb lasagna recipe.
LOW-CARB NOODLE REPLACEMENT
- Zucchini noodles as the lasagna noodle is good but tends to get watery and turn into a big mush.
- Fathead dough is another alternate in place of noodles but also turns into mush when looked.
- I’ve also made Keto lasagna noodles with lupin flour. They started off promising but also turned to big mess when cooked.
- The winner! Of all the things we’ve tried, an egg white wrap as the noodle provides a neutral flavored layer that holds its shape. Egglife wraps are the brand we used which is a little thicker than other brands I’ve seen but you can use any wrap.
INGREDIENTS
- GROUND BEEF AND GROUND SAUSAGE – You can use sweet Italian sausage or a spicy one. The meat sauce is flavorful with two types of meats.
- GARLIC
- ONION
- LOW CARB MARINARA SAUCE – Tomato sauce can be loaded with sugar so make sure you use one that isn’t like Rao’s pasta sauce.
- MOZZARELLA CHEESE
- RICOTTA CHEESE – You could also use cottage cheese as a replacement.
- EGG – An egg binds the mixture.
- PARMESAN CHEESE
- ITALIAN SEASONINGS
- EGG WHITE WRAPS – In place of lasagna noodles these work great as lasagna sheets.
HOW TO MAKE KETO LASAGNA
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
For the beef mixture: In a large skillet, cook ground beef and sausage together with onion. Add the garlic for the last minute of cooking. Add marinara after the meat is fully cooked. Set aside.
For the Ricotta mixture: In a bowl stir together the ricotta, parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Begin layering in the 9×13 baking dish with 1/3 of the meat mixture on the bottom of the pan.
Next, lay 2 egg wraps on top of the meat. You can tear them or just layer them.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top of the egg wraps. Top with 1 cup of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers two more times.Bake at 350 for 15 min or until cheese is bubbly and browning. Turn the heat up to broil for the last few minutes to help brown the cheese.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top of the egg wraps. 
Top with 1 cup of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers two more times.
Serve with a simple salad and these Keto Biscuits.

This was delicious! I bought the Trader Joe’s egg wraps as I am a frequent shopper there and when I went to make this recipe, I realized it isn’t keto-friendly! I replaced the egg wraps with Palmini hearts of palm lasagna sheets that I already had in my pantry. I replaced the ground beef and Italian sausage with ground venison (my neighbor hunts!). Finally, I substituted the whole milk ricotta cheese (not keto-friendly enough for me) with mascarpone cheese. Even my picky Italian husband loved it!!!!

Seriously had my doubts on substituting the egg white wraps for the noodles. Boy was I surprised when the keto lasagna came out perfect. And the next day reheated without any breakdown of the egg white wraps. Note: I used ground venison in place of ground beef. No fat to drain off. It’s definitely a keeper recipe.

I made this tonight and it was lovely. To be honest I made a homemade meat sauce (which is wicked easy) but other than that I followed the recipe. It was fantastic.

We loved it! The egg wrap lasagna noodles were strange at first, but they grew on me. This recipe definitely goes into the rotation.

First off – you have an amazing range of recipes. In the Keto Lasagna recipe, how many egg whites are needed in a typically sized lasagna pan? Are they diluted when they are cooked to thin them out and get them to spread? It looked like you had pretty good sized squares of egg white and I was curious if there were any tricks. Thanks, keep cookin’ !

The egg whites are already like that. You can purchase them at the grocery store. The brand is Egglife.

Sorry for the confusion. I use egg wraps. You can use any brand but I used Egglife wraps.
