Yes, you can have lasagna on a low-carb diet — and this one might be better than the original. OA Gourmet's Italian Sandwich Slices or Pizza Crusts stand in for traditional pasta, adding flavor, protein, and a satisfying texture with every layer.

Ingredients

For the meat sauce:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage (or a combo)

  • 1/2 small onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 cups low-sugar marinara sauce

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

For the ricotta mixture:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan

  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the layers:

  • 12 OA Gourmet Italian Sandwich Slices or 4 Pizza Crusts, cut to fit your baking dish (it's okay if the layers have slight overlap)

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella

  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Make the meat sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in marinara, seasoning, and let simmer for 5–10 minutes.

  3. Mix ricotta layer: In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, parmesan, salt, and pepper.

  4. Assemble your lasagna:
    In a small baking dish (8x8 or similar):

    • Spoon a thin layer of sauce on the bottom

    • Add a layer of Sandwich Slices or Pizza Crust

    • Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture

    • Add more sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella

    • Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and the rest of the mozzarella on top

  5. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.

  6. Broil for 2–3 minutes if you want a bubbly, browned cheese top.

  7. Rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil.
