The other day I was craving lasagna. My mother used to make the best lasagna (truly) and I have the recipe here, but it takes a bit of time and I want to stick to my diet so I had a crazy idea to make it with eggs as the noodles.

You might remember I made “egg noodles” along time ago buy making a crepe using just eggs and cutting it into noodles. I had loved that dish and took that recipe one step further with adding the cheeses and layers. This low carb lasagna was fabulous! I wanted to eat the whole thing but I was good and froze the other 3 pieces for lunch next week. My husband hates eggs but even he had to admit it was good.

Low Carb Egg Wraps And Noodles

I love when I have a crazy idea and it works. Though I have a few that fail, I tend to forget about them and just remember the good ones. 🙂

If you’ve never made an egg wrap you should try it because it’s very versatile. You can wrap meat, cheese and veggies for a sandwich wrap, cut into noodles and top with bolognese or use them for this lasagna! Check out my turkey egg wrap video to show you how I make them with two skillets.

For this recipe you will need 5 eggs to make 5 noodles. Note the video uses herbs but for this lasagna just use plain old eggs.

Low Carb Lasagna In A Nutshell.

Once I’ve made 5 egg noodles, I made my sauce by using the lowest carb marinara sauce I could find and added some browned Italian sausage to it. In a bowl mix together an egg, whole milk ricotta and a bit of chopped spinach for color. You can use parsley if you want instead.

Then start your layers in this order: egg wrap ->sauce->egg wrap->ricotta mixture + mozzarella->egg wrap ->sauce->egg wrap->ricotta mixture + mozzarella->egg wrap->sauce +mozzarella. As you can see I put this in a small springform cake pan that I use in my Instant Pot. The wraps were close in size to this pan so it worked well.

I used many layers because the egg noodles are fairly fragile in comparison to pasta noodles and it worked great. This is a small lasagna but it’s very filling. As I mentioned above I froze the other pieces for a quick low carb lunch.

I hope you give this one a try and it was very tasty and I have a few other recipes coming up using these egg wraps that I think you will like. The nutritional information for 1 piece of this low carb lasagna is:

304 cals / 21.2g fat / 7.1g carbs / 1.1g fiber / 21.2g protein = 6.0g net carbs

    With a lasagna that looks that good I don’t think that I’d miss the regular pasta. My gosh it certainly looks like the dish is full of flavor plus the savings in calories would be fantastic.
