Tips for Low Carb Lasagna

  • Prepare the ingredients ahead of time so there is no waiting in between. This step will always make your cooking experience much smoother.
  • Use cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Cottage cheese comes with less calories and fat.
  • Use lean ground meats, ideally chicken or turkey.
  • When stuffing the peppers, leave some space at the top, to prevent the filling from over-boiling.
