Easy Keto Lasagna

This easy keto lasagna will quickly become one of your new favorite meals! It's delicious, nutrient rich, and layers easily!

I. Love. Lasagna.

I do not love zucchini.

Almost every recipe that I've seen for a low carb lasagna features sliced zucchini. While that works sometimes, I'm not all about that life.

Don't get me wrong: zucchini is a great vegetable, and extremely useful. I like it...I just don't...you know...LOVE it in my lasagna.

I was encouraged to make this recipe during one of Baby's late night feedings. I've started watching Food Network practically every morning at 3 AM to keep the recipe inspiration high.

Lasagna usually takes a really long time to make, and obviously noodles are not an option, but I wanted to still make a thick and creamy dish that could be layered and remain sturdy.

Enter Cauliflower.

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables to work with because it's rich in nutrients but doesn't carry a strong flavor.

Added with eggs, and mozzarella, cauliflower was the perfect base for this easy keto lasagna's layers.

I can't believe this is low carb. Doesn't it amaze you how many extremely delicious foods you can eat with a low carb/keto lifestyle?

For this recipe I went with an alfredo sauce to cut the carbs down even more.

Feel free to use a tomato-ey sauce for a more traditional taste, but trust me, if you decide not to you won't miss it.

I originally thought about subbing out the beef  with chicken, but the ingredients still flowed together beautifully keeping it the same.

Here's how I made it!
