INGREDIENTS
For the Fat Head Dough:
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1 and 3/4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 egg
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Lasagna:
• 1/2 a medium onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground Italian sausage
• 24 ounce jar Rao’s marinara
• 8 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 2 cups Italian blend cheese shredded (or 1 cup mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan, combined)
• Optional: additional fresh basil for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1 For the Fat Head Dough: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2 Combine almond flour and mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Add in cream cheese and cook in the microwave for one minute. Stir and then cook for an additional 30 seconds in the microwave. Mix in the egg, salt, and Italian seasoning, and stir until well mixed. Shape dough into a ball and place between two pieces of parchment paper.
3 Roll prepared dough very thinly on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper in a long rectangle shape about 12 inches long. Bake for 12-14 minutes at 400 degrees until slightly brown. Cut into long lasagna “noodles”, and set aside.
4 For the Lasagna: Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
5 Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic with a little cooking oil in a large skillet for a few minutes until tender.
6 Add both ground beef and sausage. Crumble and cook meat in the skillet. Drain any grease or liquid before proceeding with the next steps. Stir in the jar of marinara sauce.
7 In a small separate bowl, stir ricotta cheese, egg, and fresh basil together.
8 Start compiling lasagna in a 9×13 casserole dish by adding some of the sauce to the bottom, followed by a layer of ricotta mixture, shredded cheese, and then noodles.
9 Repeat and then end with a layer of sauce and shredded cheese.
10 Bake covered with foil for 25 minutes on 375 degrees. Bake for another 10 minutes uncovered. (Tip: Spray foil with non-stick spray FIRST to keep the foil from sticking to the cheese while baking.)
11 Serve with additional chopped basil, if desired. Cut the casserole into 8 slices, and enjoy!
