The Ultimate Guide to Low Carb Lasagna Noodles
Missing traditional pasta while following a keto diet? You're not alone. The good news is that low carb lasagna noodles have evolved to taste just like the real thing. Whether you're looking to make keto lasagna that rivals traditional recipes or searching for the perfect pasta alternative, this comprehensive guide will show you how to create delicious keto-friendly lasagna that your whole family will love.
Why Choose Keto Lasagna Noodles?
Traditional lasagna noodles pack a hefty carb count that can knock you out of ketosis. That's where keto lasagna noodles come in - they provide the perfect base for your favorite Italian comfort food while keeping it low carb. The best part? Modern low carb lasagna recipes have perfected the art of creating pasta alternatives that deliver the authentic texture and taste you're craving.
A delicious keto lasagna recipe made with low carb pasta sheets can contain as few as 4-6 net carbs per serving, compared to 40+ grams in regular lasagna noodles. This makes it an excellent option for those following a keto diet or low carb lifestyle.
Best Low Carb Lasagna Noodle Options
When it comes to making keto-friendly lasagna, you have several excellent options for noodle alternatives:
- Zucchini Lasagna: Thinly sliced zucchini creates perfect pasta sheets that work beautifully in any lasagna recipe. Pro tip: use a mandoline for uniform slices and pat them dry with parchment paper to remove excess moisture.
- Homemade Low Carb Noodles: Create your own pasta sheets using a combination of mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and eggs. These homemade noodles deliver a texture remarkably close to the real thing.
- Palmini Noodles: Made from hearts of palm, these pre-made noodles are perfect for easy keto dinner preparation. They're widely available and can be delivered straight to your door using Instacart.
- Eggplant Lasagna: Similar to zucchini lasagna, thinly sliced eggplant makes an excellent pasta alternative that holds up well during baking.
Making the Perfect Keto-Friendly Lasagna
Creating the best keto lasagna starts with proper preparation. Here's what makes your low carb lasagna recipe stand out:
- Layer your noodles carefully, whether using zucchini noodles or homemade low carb pasta sheets
- Use low moisture mozzarella cheese to prevent excess liquid

- Let your lasagna rest before serving to achieve the perfect texture

How to make Keto Lasagna Noodles: The Ultimate Low Carb Guide to Making Lasagna Just Like the Real Thing
- 01
Preheat Oven to 375 Degrees F. - 02
Cut zucchini into long thin slices with a Mandoline. If you don't have a mandolin you can use a knife by Chopping off both ends of the zucchini then stand the zucchini up on one of the cut ends and carefully slice straight down. - 03
To remove excess liquid, lay zucchini slices out on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, wipe off the excess moisture and salt and fully pat dry. - 04
Melt butter in a Saute Pan, add onion and cook until translucent (about 7-8 minutes). - 05
Cook the ground beef in a separate large sauté pan while the onions are cooking. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until it's just barely still pink, breaking into chunks as you cook. Drain the excess grease. - 06
Add minced garlic and italian seasoning to ground beef and cook for an additional minute. Set aside 2-3 tbsp marinara sauce and add the rest to the ground beef mixture. - 07
Add the onions to the ground beef mixture. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes. - 08
While the sauce simmers, Whisk together cottage cheese, egg and parmesan in a large Mixing Bowl. Set aside. - 09
In a lasagna pan, place a layer of zucchini noodles slightly overlapping, making sure to leave no gaps. Then add a layer of mozzarella followed by half of the meat sauce and spread with a spoon. Then add a layer of ½ the cottage cheese mixture and spread with a spoon. Then add another layer of zucchini, mozzarella, meat sauce and cottage cheese mixture. Now top the lasagna with a final layer of zucchini noodles and the 2-3 tbsp of marinara sauce that you set aside earlier. Spread evenly with a spoon and top everything off with a layer of mozzarella. - 10
Bake in the oven, uncovered for 30 minutes. Then turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese begins to bubble and brown. - 11
Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes or cool in the fridge. If you cut into the lasagna while it's hot there will be a lot of excess liquid in the bottom of the pan.
