Going Keto can be hard when you start thinking about what you’ll be missing. Luckily, a classic lasagna won’t be one of them. This low-carb lasagna uses a simple noodle replacement that once it’s covered in meat and cheese, feels just like pasta. It’s the comforting dish you no longer have to crave. Be sure to buy a tomato sauce that doesn’t have any added sugar to ensure it’s Keto friendly!
