Ingredients You’ll Need
One of the things I love most about this Keto Lasagna is that the ingredients are simple and easy to find. No hunting down specialty items at three different stores.
For the Keto Lasagna Noodles:
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 3 large eggs
For the Lasagna Filling:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¾ cup marinara sauce (low-carb or keto marinara preferred)
- 1½ cups ricotta cheese
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
That’s it! Basic ingredients, big flavor.
How to Make Keto Lasagna (Step-by-Step)
Let’s break this down into simple, stress-free steps.
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Trust me—parchment is your best friend here.
Step 2: Make the Keto Lasagna Noodles
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan.
Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until mostly melted and smooth. Don’t rush this part—slow and steady wins the cheesy race.
Add the eggs and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the mixture onto your lined baking sheet and spread it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges are firm and lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely before slicing.
This cheese-based sheet becomes your low carb lasagna noodles. Magic, right?
Step 3: Prepare the Meat Sauce
While the noodle layer cools, heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Add the ground beef. Cook for 3 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
Stir in the marinara sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Your kitchen should smell absolutely amazing at this point.
Step 4: Assemble the Keto Lasagna
Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil.
Slice your cooled keto lasagna sheet into 6 even pieces.
Layer like this:
- Two noodle pieces
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- One-third of the meat sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
Repeat the layers until everything is used up.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. I know it’s hard to wait—but it helps everything set beautifully.

Tips for the Best Keto Lasagna
Let me share a few little tricks I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way!).
Use a good-quality low-carb marinara. Not all sauces are created equal. Check the label and look for lower sugar content. You can also use keto spaghetti sauce, keto pizza sauce, pomodoro, or sugo.
Let the noodle layer cool fully. If you slice it too early, it can tear. Patience here pays off.
Don’t skip the resting time after baking. If you cut into it right away, it might slide apart. Think of it like giving your lasagna a tiny spa break.
Want extra flavor? Add Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
One time I rushed the cooling step because my family was circling the kitchen like hungry hawks. Let’s just say… it still tasted amazing, but it looked more like “lasagna casserole surprise.” Lesson learned.
Is Keto Lasagna Actually Filling?
Oh yes. Between the ground beef, ricotta, mozzarella, and eggs, this dish packs protein and healthy fats that keep you satisfied.
Each serving has:
- 259 calories
- 25g protein
- 20g fat
- 2g net carbs
It’s hearty enough that you won’t be rummaging through the pantry an hour later.
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
If you’re a meal-prep lover (or just someone who likes future-you to be happy), this Keto Lasagna is perfect.
- Fridge: Store leftovers up to one week in an airtight container.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 6 months.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 325°F or microwave in short bursts.
I often make this on Sunday, and by Wednesday night, it feels like a gift I left for myself.
FAQs About Keto Lasagna
Can I use a different sauce?
Absolutely. Keto spaghetti sauce, keto pizza sauce, pomodoro, or sugo all work beautifully. Just double-check the carb count.
Can I substitute ground beef?
Yes! Ground turkey or Italian sausage are great options. Just make sure they’re low-carb and don’t contain added sugars.
Does Keto Lasagna taste like regular lasagna?
Honestly? It’s incredibly close. The cheese-based noodles hold up surprisingly well and give you that layered texture we all love.
How do I keep my Keto Lasagna from being watery?
Make sure your meat sauce isn’t overly thin before layering. Also, letting the lasagna rest after baking helps everything firm up.
Bringing Comfort Back to the Table
There’s something special about pulling a bubbling pan of Keto Lasagna out of the oven. The cheese is golden. The sauce is rich. The edges are slightly crispy in the best possible way.
For busy moms, working professionals, or anyone trying to balance comfort food with health goals, this recipe checks all the boxes. It’s satisfying without feeling heavy, indulgent without the guilt, and simple enough for real life.
If you’ve been missing traditional pasta dishes while living the low-carb life, this Keto Lasagna might just bring that joy back to your dinner table.
