Easy Keto Lasagna with Cottage Cheese Recipe

Print Recipe

This Keto Lasagna with Cottage Cheese is a low-carb twist on the classic lasagna. Made with zucchini slices instead of pasta and cottage cheese for a creamy, protein-packed layer, it’s the perfect dish for anyone on the keto diet looking for a satisfying, cheesy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Sprinkle zucchini slices with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Add marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce, then layer zucchini slices, cottage cheese, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers until used up, ending with mozzarella.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • To reduce wateriness, grill or bake zucchini slices for 5-7 minutes before assembling the lasagna.
  • Feel free to substitute eggplant for zucchini or add spinach to the meat sauce for extra greens.
