This keto lasagna is comforting and delicious, and tastes like the real thing! Layers of low carb lasagna noodles, meat sauce, ricotta cheese, and plenty of mozzarella cheese, it’s keto comfort food at it’s finest!

The Best Keto Lasagna
You can never have too many lasagna recipes.
Even on a keto diet, this should be a dinner-time staple. Sure, we can enjoy an eggplant lasagna or zucchini lasagna, but when we are craving something as close to the original, nothing beats these cheesy lasagna.
This keto lasagna recipe is truly a game changer. It’s made with real keto lasagna noodles, so that means no veggie noodles or shirataki noodles here.
It uses simple and easy low carb ingredients that are staples in any keto kitchen: cheese, eggs, and ground beef. It’s also easy to make ahead, so you can freeze a portion to enjoy later.
Texture wise, it’s also cheesy, creamy, and comforting.
Oh, and each serving has just 3 grams of carbs. Seriously, nothing screams comfort food more than this recipe!

Ingredients needed
Now, the ingredient list may look a little longer than usual, but trust me, there’s no fancy or hard-to-find ingredients. Here is what you’ll need:
For the keto lasagna noodles.
- Cream cheese- Opt for using cream cheese from a block instead of a tub, as it has a thicker texture and no added water in it.
- Mozzarella cheese- Mozzarella has a mild flavor and stretches beautifully, so is the perfect cheese to use to make the noodles. Do not use cheddar or another cheese, as it is prone to developing a film on the exterior.
- Parmesan cheese- Use finely grated parmesan cheese or fresh parmesan cheese. Some supermarkets sell a powdered version, which won’t work well, and will leave the noodles gritty.
- Eggs- room temperature eggs. If you’d this recipe to be egg-free, try using one of these egg substitutes.
For the filling.
- Onion and garlic- Necessary additions to any good bolognese sauce or marinara recipe.
- Ground beef- I used lean ground beef but any cut of ground beef works.
- Marinara sauce- Use a marinara sauce with no added sugar in them. You can also use a keto pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce.
- Salt and pepper- to taste.
- Ricotta cheese- To layer the lasagna and gives it the creaminess. It is like a mock bechamel.
- Mozzarella cheese- What is a lasagna without mozzarella?
How to make a keto lasagna
This recipe is easy to make and follows a simple 4-step process. If you have a spaghetti sauce or meat sauce prepped in advance, that cuts out a fair chunk of time!
Step 1- Prepare the lasagna noodles
Start by adding the cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses and microwave in 30 second spurts until the mozzarella has mostly melted. Whisk in the eggs until a thick and creamy batter remains.
Step 2- Bake the noodles
Next, bake the lasagna for 15 minutes, until it just gets golden around the sides.
Step 3- Make the meat sauce
Now, add the onions and garlic to a pan and saute for 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Add the marinara sauce, salt and pepper and continue pan frying for a further 5 minutes.
Step 4- Assemble and cook
Finally, add tin foil to a pan and allow half an inch overhanging from each side. Slice the lasagna sheet into 6 even pieces. Place two pieces on the bottom of the pan, followed by a third of the ricotta, a third of the meat sauce, and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat until all the noodles are cooked.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Slice then serve.

Can I make this in advance?
To make ahead this keto lasagna, follow these tips.
Ensure all the layers (lasagna sheets and meat sauce) have been cooled to room temperature. Once cool, assemble the lasagna as directed. Once assembled, cover the lasagna completely in plastic wrap and store in the freeze. The day before baking it, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator.
You will need to bake the lasagna from a chilled state and bake for an extra 10 minutes.
Tips for success
- Make sure lasagna noodles are slightly cool before layering the dish. You risk it melting the ricotta cheese and it will make the overall lasagna less sturdy and sink when baked.
- Be sure the marinara sauce you use is low carb and keto friendly. This means it must be sugar free, and only have salt and herbs on the ingredient list. You can use keto pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce instead.
- I used pre-shredded mozzarella but for the best flavor and texture, grate a block of mozzarella cheese instead.
Storage info
Wondering what is the best way to store this dish? Here are best practices for lasagna storage:
- To store: Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container, for up to 1 week.
- To freeze: Place individual portions of lasagna in airtight containers and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- To reheat: Reheat in the microwave or in a preheated oven.
What to serve with this dish
This low carb lasagna is on the heavier side, so lighter side dishes are best. Our favorites include a spinach salad, coleslaw, or some air fried zucchini.
Consider serving a smaller portion and pairing it with some keto cheese bread or keto garlic bread.

OMG omg omg 🥰 lasagne is my fave comfort food! I am soooo making this recipe 😊 Thanks Arman 👍🏻
How many servings does this make? I saw the nutrition information per serving but what is a serving size?
Question: could this recipe be used to make other types of pasta, such as ravioli and spaghetti, etc? Thanks so much! I REALLY look forward to making this lasagna!
I wouldn’t recommend it Rosemary, as I feel like it will fall apart- Will be working on something similar!
Made this and it was indistinguishable from the regular pasta noodles. The pasta eaters didn’t notice the difference that this had zero wheat. It was an absolute hit. I doubled the recipe and somehow ended up with enough to make two 9×13 lasagnas with two thick layers. I did add more cheese, also sliced mushrooms in-between. 1000/10 would make again
This is the best Keto Lasagna I have ever made. I had other recipes I have made in the past but this is so much better. Thank you so much.
This is an Italian household big feast But I’m trying this since lasagna is mostly for the winter and want to surprise everyone this Sunday. Looks/sounds yummy.

😀 Oh fabulous!
My 14-year-old twin boys made this recipe for our supper one evening and it turned out very tasty!! It was hard to say which one was the more pleased the young men that made it or the happy family that ate it 😁😁 Absolutely delicious recipe!! Thank you 🙂
Ahhh I love that! So great to hear that 🙂
Delicious!! Tastes like the regular high carb noodles.
Thank you, Rita!
Super easy and good 👌
I loved this recipe so much. It’ll remain on the dinner rotation list from now until eternity. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Julie!
Wow! Amazing! I substituted Italian sausage for ground beef. So delicious
G’day Arman, I noticed you’ve made an ALMOND FLOUR PASTA recipe more recently, would you recommend that recipe to make lasagna sheets over your KETO LASAGNA recipe?
Loving your recipes btw 😋
Hi Luke! I haven’t tried, but let me know if you give it a go 🙂
WOW!!! Soooooooo good!!! This is loved by everyone in my household!!! Thank you so much for an alternative to wheat pasta!!! Now I don’t have to give up one of my favorite dinners! 🥰
I really liked this recipe and so did my family of 6.
This lasagne is amazingly good!!!!
Actually better without noodles in my opinion-nice and cheesy-full of flavor. Next time I’m adding more veggies-peppers and mushrooms-good stuff!
So excited to find this recipe! I always make my husband lasagna for his birthday and this will allow us to stay on track! I always make it ahead and refrigerate it over night … have you ever tried that with this recipe?
Hi Linda! I haven’t tried but it is a little more fragile than traditional lasagna noodles, so I would worry it could fall apart.
Can this be made with meat sauce in the lasagna?
Yes, of course 🙂
Just curious how you get 6 sheets to fill an 8×8 pan? Recipe is great btw
This was so good. I used sausage instead of ground beef and while I typically add an egg and spices to my ricotta mixture but I forgot this time due to being tired after a long day at work. It came out delicious and I didn’t miss the traditional noodles at all! Thank you for such a great keto recipe!
