Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the eggplant noodles by laying the slices on paper towels and sprinkling them with salt. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender. Remove and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is softened.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Layer half of the eggplant slices over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the eggplant slices.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining meat sauce, eggplant slices, and ricotta cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the lasagna.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto low-carb lasagna!
