Making low carb simple
Instructions
Instructions are for 6 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Meat sauce
Finely chop onion and garlic and fry in butter in a heavy pot.
Add ground beef and keep frying until cooked thoroughly. Add tomato paste to the pot and pour in crushed tomatoes and red wine.
Season with salt and black pepper and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Lasagna sheets
Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet and lightly grease with oil.
Finely grate a medium-sized cauliflower head with a food processor.
Place the grated cauliflower in a bowl and cook for two minutes on high in the microwave. Stir and microwave for two more minutes.
Cool the grated cauliflower and place in a clean kitchen cloth (towel) and squeeze the liquid out by twisting and wringing the towel. Almost a cup of liquid has to come out for the rice to be dry.
Place the cauliflower rice, eggs, and spices in a bowl and combine.
Spread the batter onto the parchment paper and bake on the lower rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Cut into adequate-sized pieces, like lasagna sheets.
Cheese sauce
Bring heavy cream and sour cream to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Layering and baking
In a deep baking dish that's about 8 x 10" (20 x 26 cm) add some bolognese sauce, top with a layer of lasagna sheets, then cheese sauce. Alternate and finish up with cheese sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20–30 minutes and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

If you don't have a microwave, lightly boil the cauliflower florets first, drain them, then whizz them in a food processor. Then you can carry on with the squeezing/drying etc.

Just fyi, sometimes you can find grated cauliflower in a bag in the refrigerated section at Aldi. Handy for those in a hurry.

Trader Joes in the USA carries cauliflower rice, both frozen and in the refrigerator section. They can barely keep it in stock!

I have the Trader Joe's frozen cauliflower rice but need to know if I should still microwave it and squeeze out water or if I can can just thaw it and use it as is?

I read a lot of comments. Sounds delicious but I need a different noodle. The cauliflower I love but I don't have a food processor nor do I have a clue what ricing is.
Could it be steamed or cooked, sliced or smashed and .....help. Would love the easier version of this.Reply: #72

Can you make this up a day ahead and then cook it? I would like to make for our bible study group but I would not have enough time after work to do all of this. If I could make it up the night before and just bake the next day, that would be great. But has anyone done this and had it turn out ok?
Thanks,59

Is the 3 cups cauliflower measured before or after cooking in the microwave please? I measured 3 cups of riced raw cauliflower but only measures 1 cup after microwaving. Big difference.

I used eggplant in place of the cauliflower. I slice, bread with egg/cream mixture and crushed pork rinds, pan fry, then use it in place of noodles.

Generally, no those are not an option due to carb count and the fact that grains can be inflammatory. Here is a good list of visual guides of foods you can enjoy on a ketogenic diet.

I made this so good, used Costco cauliflower rice and microwaved and squeezed out water. This recipe is the closest to lasagne with pasta that I have ever had. Thank you

I bake the water out of the cauli. Slice the head into .5 or 1 in slices. Use parchment, and arrange on cookie sheet. Lightly spray with cooking oil. Bake about 20-25mins. It will steam out the water and cook the cauli. THEN I mix the cooled cauli with egg and spices.

Any suggestions for a substitute for the red wine? Something alcohol free.

You can omit it or use water if you need the extra liquid.

If cooked, it should freeze and reheat well. If not cooked, it may be prone to falling apart.

That will depend on the recipe. For a lasagna, you could use a pork based sausage or just ground pork.

I have made this lasagna at least 10 to 15 times over the last several years using the exact recipe it is absolutely delicious. A little time consuming and lots of ingredients and procedures but it’s worth it in the end

Definitely worth it! So glad you think so, too!

I made this for the first time yesterday. One other person suggested baking the cauliflower to steam out the moisture, so I did that and I think the little bit of char I got from roasting gave the lasagna sheets a really nice flavor. The dish was a winner! My husband went nuts for it and lasagna is one of the things he always misses. He said this doesn't make him miss regular lasagna anymore. Other than the roasting to remove moisture from the cauliflower, I followed the recipe as described. It will be on the rotation for here out!
