In recent years, low-carb cooking has surged in popularity, largely due to the rising interest in the ketogenic diet. This dietary approach emphasizes high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate intake, prompting many home cooks to seek out creative ways to enjoy their favorite dishes without the added carbs. One ingredient that has gained a reputation for its versatility in low-carb recipes is zucchini. When used as a substitute for traditional pasta, zucchini not only reduces the carbohydrate content of a meal but also enhances the dish with its subtle flavor and nutrient density.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1 large zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise (to replace lasagna noodles)
1 pound Italian sausage (ground)
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
2 cups marinara sauce (sugar-free)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)

Method
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the zucchini into thin strips using a mandoline or knife. Lay the strips out on a clean towel, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry.
    Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground Italian sausage. Cook until browned and crispy, breaking it apart into small pieces. Drain excess fat if necessary, then add the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Set aside to cool slightly.
      Make the Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then fold in the cooked sausage.
        Assemble the Roll Ups: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take one zucchini strip, spoon a generous amount of the cheese and sausage mixture onto the end, and roll it up tightly. Place the seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all zucchini strips.
          Top with Sauce and Cheese: Once all your rolls are in the dish, cover with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top.
            Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
              Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Keto Sausage Lasagna Roll Ups!
