Loved for its cheesy, comforting feel, lasagne is a favourite in many households. This easy low-carb lasagne recipe is a perfect variation of the winter classic when you have those comfort-food cravings. Or, enjoy in the summer with a side of crisp salad.
Known for its sheets of pasta and layers of cheese, we’ve stripped this meal back to basics (while keeping the cheesy goodness) making an easy, low-carb meal the family will still love.
Using a really easy bolognese sauce, this low-carb lasagne is simple to put together, using thinly sliced courgette (zucchini) in place of pasta.
Ingredients
- 300g beef mince
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tin tomato diced
- 120g spinach
- 1 courgette (zucchini), finely sliced into strips
- 100g ricotta
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 20g parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
- In a flameproof casserole dish, or small oven-proof pan, saute mince and onion together for 10 minutes, until onion has softened. Add garlic, oregano and tinned tomatoes – cook down for 5-10 minutes before adding the spinach and stirring through. Allow to cook down and thicken for 5 minutes.
- Mix the nutmeg into the ricotta.
- Either transfer the mince to an oven-proof dish or keep in your casserole dish. Flatten the mince mixture, layer on the courgette strips, scoop over the ricotta and top with parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until browning on top. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
