It may be time intensive to prepare and bake, but it yields many returns of full-bellied satisfaction and leftovers whose flavors concentrate the longer they mingle. Our keto spicy lasagna recipe includes the expected oozing, tender layers of meat-cheese-sauce with a pleasant kick from crushed red chiles commingled with the sunshiny flavor of organic tomato paste and diced tomatoes in our arrabbiata sauce.

This spicy tomato sauce tastes like you've slaved over the back burner to make an old-fashioned spicy Italian gravy.

Keto Spicy Lasagna Recipe

Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 lb. lean grass-fed ground beef*
• 1 jar Primal Kitchen Arrabbiata Sauce
• 1 egg, beaten
• 15 oz. whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup organic parsley, chopped
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 packages Palmini Lasagna Noodles

*Use lean ground beef to prevent the lasagna from falling apart and being too greasy.

Equipment

• 13x9-inch heat-safe baking dish with a lid

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add ground beef. Break up large chunks with a heat-safe spatula, stirring frequently, until browned.

• Remove meat from skillet and place in a bowl. Add Arrabbiata Sauce to bowl and stir to combine with the meat. Set aside to cool a bit.

• Meanwhile, combine egg, ricotta, parsley, 1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.

• Rinse hearts of palm lasagna noodles in a colander over the sink. Dry on clean kitchen towels. 

• Spread 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with layers of lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, and 1 cup of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce, and cheeses. Cover with lid. 

• Bake 1 hour or until heated through. Remove the lid of the dish after 45 minutes in the oven to bronze the cheese on top of the lasagna.
• Remove from oven and let stand, partially covered, for 15 minutes before slicing.
• Store any leftover lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze any extras by wrapping each slice of lasagna in parchment paper and storing in a resealable bag for up to 3 months.
