INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the Keto Noodles: Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and eggs with a hand mixer.
3. Add the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Stir until it's well combined.
4. With a spatula, fold in the mozzarella cheese until well incorporated. Spread the cheese mixture in the baking dish and make a thin layer.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until firm and golden.
6. When the "pasta" is out of the oven, cool it down in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Cut it crosswise into 3 even strips.
7. To make the filling: Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, dried minced onions, basil, oregano, and garlic powder to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned, about 10-15 minutes.
8. Drain the excess grease from the skillet and add 1 cup of the marinara sauce to the meat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
9. To assemble: Pour 1/4 cup of the marinara sauce into an 8.5 by 4.5 - inch loaf pan. Place the first pasta layer on top of the sauce.
10. On top of that, layer a third of the meat sauce. Top the sauce with 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 3 tablespoons of ricotta cheese. Cover that with another pasta layer. Repeat the step one more time.
11. Cover the top noodle layer with the remaining meat sauce, remaining 1/4 cup of marinara sauce. Top that with the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
12. Bake for 20 minutes at 375F until the cheese is bubbling. Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving.
