    This keto lasagna recipe is one of those recipes I keep in my "Things to Make for Non-keto Peeps" file.

    I am not joking when I tell you that nobody and I DO mean nobody ever guesses that this is a keto recipe! My son, my photographer, and her entire family, all love this keto lasagna and couldn't believe it was low carb.

    I was a pasta addict before I went low carb, and loved, loved, LOVED, Italian food!

    I mean, when my kids were growing up we would have dinner dates at Olive Garden just about every week we loved it so much.

    So when I decided to jump into the low carb pool I knew I was going to have to come up with recipes that could calm those pasta cravings for me or I was going to go crazy!

    The first one I came up with was a copycat of Olive Garden's Alfredo Sauce. I even made a fall-inspired version with this Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce. My family thought it sounded kinda weird, as did my photographer, but once they tried it they were blown away at how good it was. We all look forward to having it as soon as fall hits.

    The secret to keeping the carbs low in this keto lasagna is my homemade Italian Sausage (regular store-bought sausage has hidden carbs) AND hearts of palm noodles.

    If you have never had hearts of palm I kinda compare them to super mild asparagus or artichoke flavor. Kinda.

    But once they are in a recipe you really don't taste them and they mimic the feel and texture of honest-to-goodness pasta! I promise you!!

    I have started using them in just about everything. I do use zoodles and spaghetti squash once in a while, but these noodles are so dang good and SO low in carbs that I can't help it. I buy them by the case!!

    💭Top tip

    This is one of my fave meal prep recipes because you can freeze it before OR after you bake it. If freezing before you will want to defrost the lasagna in the fridge and then continue on with the cooking instructions. If you want to bake from frozen the time will vary depending on your oven. The baking time will be almost double.

    FAQ about Keto Lasagna

    Why doesn't this keto lasagna have a bechamel sauce?

    Some people like a cheese layer and others enjoy a bechamel sauce. I have seen some lasagnas that use both. I was looking to create a lasagna recipe that was easy to make, plus I really like cheese.

    How long should I let my lasagna rest before serving it?

    I suggest waiting for at least 15 to 20 minutes before cutting the lasagna. This helps the lasagna stay together by allowing the cheeses to cool and firm up a bit.

    How should I store the leftover keto lasagna?

    Store any leftover keto lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    You can freeze the leftover lasagna for up to 4 months.

    Can I make this with ground chicken or turkey?

    Yes, just use ground chicken or turkey when you make the Italian sausage and another pound in the lasagna. If possible get dark meat or a mix to add a bit of fat or it could be a little dry.
