Keto Carnivore Lasagna Recipe: Low-Carb Twist on Italian Comfort (2024)

By Caitlin Weeks

For those following the carnivore diet, behold, a symphony of flavors in every layer. Who could resist this lasagna?

Yes, you read the right, today, I’m thrilled to share my unique twist on lasagna—a carnivore-ish, keto-friendly version that stays true to its meaty essence with just a hint of tomato sauce. Unlike conventional lasagnas loaded with pasta layers, this recipe emphasizes a meat-centric approach. With ground beef as the star ingredient, it caters to carnivore and keto diets by minimizing carbs while maximizing protein content. You will enjoy its rich taste without the starchiness of traditional lasagna.

So, if you’re following a carnivore plan or simply seeking a delicious low carb or keto meal, this Keto Carnivore Lasagna Recipe is a must-try. Many innovative keto minds have made lasagna using alternative ingredients like zucchini or eggplant slices in place of pasta sheets, and substituting cheese with dairy free alternatives. But those keto creations do not fit the criteria for those exclusively consuming animal products on a carnivore diet. So if you are not concerned about carnivore diet, you may also like to try my delicious and easy Keto Vegetarian Lasagna made with zucchini and added eggs to ricotta cheese.

Keto Carnivore Lasagna Recipe

This carnivore keto lasagna is a low carb marvel, with minimal carbs primarily coming from the tomato sauce. With an estimated 35 grams of carbs in the entire can of sauce and negligible carbs in the other ingredients, each serving boasts an impressively low carb count.

By replacing pasta with low carb egg wraps and incorporating just a touch of tomato sauce, this lasagna drastically reduces carbohydrates. Egg wraps in this recipe serve as a low carb alternative to traditional pasta sheets in lasagna. These wraps are versatile and ideal for various low carb or keto friendly dishes, offering a light and neutral taste that seamlessly complements the flavors in this carnivore keto lasagna.

So, this recipe caters to individuals seeking low carb alternatives without compromising on flavor. It uses the aromatic essence of garlic and oregano to enhance the Italian flavors in this lasagna.

Variations on this Keto Carnivore Lasagna Recipe

For this carnivore keto lasagna, feel free to tweak the recipe by opting for ricotta if you prefer a firmer and drier consistency. In my experience with this recipe, both ricotta and cottage cheese work well in creating a delightful carnivore keto lasagna. However, if you prefer a slightly drier finish, leaning towards ricotta might be the ideal choice. Alternatively, if you enjoy a bit of texture and tanginess, cottage cheese could be the perfect fit for your palate.

Whether you opt for ricotta’s creaminess or cottage cheese’s texture, both choices contribute to the carnivore keto lasagna’s appeal. It’s worth noting that using ricotta tends to create a not too drippy or gooey finish, providing a balanced and satisfying texture to each savory bite. Experimenting with these cheese options allows you to tailor the lasagna to your liking. You can try both alternatives to discover which one enhances the flavors and texture that resonate best with your taste buds!

Additionally, I have experimented with egg life wraps in this recipe. Their flexibility and ability to absorb flavors make them an excellent choice for creating layers in this dish. But turkey slices can also serve as an alternative base if you want.Experiment with variations, and let the meaty goodness of this lasagna elevate your dining experience.
