Enjoy lasagna without the carbs with this low carb lasagna bowls recipe.
When it comes to comfort food, lasagna ranks pretty high up there on a list of things people crave. Warm and rich, coma-inducing, carbalicious (I made that word up, but you can use it) goodness. Which, obviously is not a great fit for a low carb or keto diet.
So what happens if you make lasagna without the noodles? Well, normally you get a pile of soupy cheese in a casserole dish. But if you make it in individual sized servings and layer the ingredients in the right way, all of a sudden you have a delicious, satisfying keto meal and you won’t even miss the noodles. Well, that’s a lie. I will always miss noodles. But this makes it easier to enjoy the meal anyway.
Now, you can make a keto lasagna in a traditional baking dish but getting creative with the ingredients. You can try a zucchini lasagna using zucchini slices or use ground beef and turn it into a thin patty and use it as sot of a noodle layer. A quick Google search or Pinterest search can help you find some great recipes for those options.
I find this option to be more versatile. My daughter loves this recipe because she likes to add cooked elbow noodles to it. You really could allow every member of the family to customize their bowl exactly the way they want.
