Lasagna is Italy's favorite food par excellence - but unfortunately not usually a diet food.
With this low-carb recipe you can finally enjoy and still save calories.
Pizza, pasta, gnocchi, tiramisu*, gelato... Italians simply know how to make good food. Unfortunately, most of it is not suitable for a low-carb diet. Pasta and pizza dough made from wheat flour and desserts with sugar contain a lot of carbohydrates, which are not recommended in a diet. But what does the idea of tweaking a classic
lasagna
to create a light,
low-carb recipe
sound like ? You can do this easily by swapping out a few ingredients. Instead of lasagne plates,
kohlrabi
is used here. In this way you save carbohydrates, but provide your body with healthy protein. In addition, the lasagna recipe is quick and easy to make: perfect for a low-carb dinner.

Low-carb lasagne: How to make the classic healthier
Peel the
kohlrabi
.
There shouldn't be any leftover peel left, as it tastes bitter.
Then cut the kohlrabi into slices about 2 mm thick.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the kohlrabi slices and let them simmer for about 10 minutes.
Then drain in a colander.
Dice the onion - you can do it very quickly with this trick - and sweat it in a pan with a little oil.
Add the minced meat and sauté for about 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the tomato sauce with the cream cheese and use this sauce to deglaze the minced meat in the pan.
Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently and seasoning to taste.
Preheat the oven
to 200 °C top/bottom heat or 180 °C for circulating air.
Now for layering the lasagna
: start with a layer of ground beef sauce.
Top with a layer of kohlrabi slices, then more minced meat sauce, kohlrabi, etc. until both are used up.
Finally, spread the crème fraîche on top and sprinkle the lasagne with the cheese.
Bake the low carb lasagna in the oven for about
20-25 minutes
.
Sprinkle with some oregano to serve.
One serving of this
low-carb lasagne with turnip greens
has only about 370 calories and 8.6 g of carbohydrates.
You can treat yourself to a large piece without a guilty conscience.
Enjoy your meal!
