Enjoy all the layers of delicious flavours, without the carbs! The all-around favourite Italian comfort food gets a keto twist by using cabbage leaves instead of lasagna noodles. You can also slice zucchini thin and use long strips instead of cabbage. Whatever you do, feel free to cut these, wrap, and freeze lasagna in single-serving portions for an easy meal anytime.
Ingredients:
tsp salt, divided, plus more for salting the water,
1/2 head of cabbage,
460g ground beef, (i used 50/50 beef/pork mix),
1 garlic clove, minced,
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped,
400g ricotta cheese,
75g freshly grated Parmesan cheese,
1 egg,
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning,
400g marinara sauce, refer my homemade recipe,
100g fresh grated mozzarella cheese,
Instructions
1. Fill a large pot with water, a generous teaspoon of salt; bring to a boil. Gently remove leaves from cabbage head, then add them to the boiling water. Boil for 20 minutes. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet over medium-heat, crumble and cook the ground beef with the minced garlic, parsley, and half of the salt, stirring frequently until brown and cooked through.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
4. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, the remaining half of the salt, and the Italian seasoning. Set aside.
5. Spread half of the marinara sauce onto the bottom of an 24 by 24 cm baking form. Gently place a layer of cooked cabbage leaves over sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the cabbage leaves. Then top the ricotta mixture with half of the browned beef. Spread half of the remaining marinara sauce over the meat. Repeat the layers of cabbage leaves, ricotta mix, and beef. Top with the remaining marinara sauce and the mozzarella cheese, then bake in the oven until hot and bubbling, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
