LOW CARB LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Spray an 7" round (2" deep) cake pan with non-stick vegetable oil spray. I use a 7" spring form pan.
• In a heavy skillet, brown the ground beef, stirring to break it up, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat from pan.
• Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, the seasonings, and the sweetener.
• Simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
• In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the egg, the Parmesan, pepper, and the parsley.
• Assemble lasagna : Trim 3 low-carb tortillas to 7" circles, to fit into the pan, if necessary.
• Spread a spoonful of meat sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay one tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Reserve 1/4 cup meat sauce, then use half of the remaining sauce to cover the tortilla.
• Dollop half of the ricotta mixture over the meat sauce.
• Reserve a couple tablespoons of mozzarella for the top. Sprinkle half of the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
• Top with a second low-carb tortilla, and repeat the layering: meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.
• Top with a third low-carb tortilla. Spread with the reserved meat sauce and sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella and with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
• Cover pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 to 25 additional minutes, till bubbly hot.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Cut into four wedges and serve.
• If you use a 3 net carb tortilla, each serving is about 9 net carbs.
