About

Low-Carb Lasagna, as the name suggests, forgoes the pasta to keep things, well, low-carb. What the name Low-Carb Lasagna doesn't suggest is that it replaces the pasta with even more meat, making this the meatiest lasagna ever! The homemade meat sauce, filled with juicy beef and wonderfully seasoned Italian sausage, is in fact layered between slices of tender deli chicken and spicy pepperoni! This is truly a carnivore's dream come to life! And with plenty of cheese thrown in, Low-Carb Lasagna satisfies that craving for the Italian classic while making sure you get your protein (and then some)!
