How to Make Carnivore White Lasagna
- Yield: 8 servings
- Prep Time: 15 minutes (not including time to make noodles and sauce)
- Cook Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients
For the Lasagna:
- Double batch pork panko noodles, kept in sheet form
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 batch Browned Butter Cream Sauce
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 12 ounces), divided
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1½ ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Trim the sheets of pork panko noodles to fit a 13×9-inch casserole dish, and set them aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage and ground beef, stirring frequently to break them apart. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Drain any excess grease, stir in the browned butter cream sauce, and add salt to taste if needed.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix 1½ cups of mozzarella, the ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Blend until evenly combined.
- Assemble the lasagna: In the casserole dish, layer half of the meat sauce, one sheet of noodle, and half of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining meat sauce, another noodle sheet, and the rest of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake the lasagna uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips for the Best White Lasagna
- Customizing the Meat: If you prefer, you can omit the sausage and double the ground beef for a simpler flavor profile that’s still carnivore-friendly.
- Perfecting the Noodles: Pork panko noodles are a great substitute for pasta. Ensure they are cut evenly to fit the casserole dish for a seamless layering process.
- Browned Butter Sauce: The browned butter cream sauce adds a deep, nutty flavor that complements the richness of the meats and cheese.
Why This Lasagna Fits the Carnivore Diet
This lasagna eliminates traditional pasta and uses low-carb, protein-packed noodles, making it ideal for those following a carnivore or keto lifestyle. The meat-heavy filling and rich cheeses ensure a satisfying and nutrient-dense meal.
Serving Suggestions & Variations
- Meal Prep-Friendly: Slice the lasagna into portions after cooling, and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven to maintain its creamy texture.
- Cheese Substitutions: For a creamier lasagna, substitute shredded mozzarella with sliced fresh mozzarella. Or, add more Parmesan for a saltier, sharper flavor.
- Toppings: Sprinkle cooked bacon bits or additional Parmesan over the top before baking for an extra layer of decadence.
