This lasagna is one of my favourites! I shared a lasagna recipe before a while back, but I made some adjustments and this one tastes even better.
It was by accident really. Before, I used ricotta cheese in between the layers, but I forgot to bring it when I did groceries. I still had some cream cheese and heavy cream in the fridge and used that. It turned out to taste pretty amazing!

RECIPE FOR 8 PORTIONS
INGREDIENTS
For the noodles
- 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking power
- 1 egg
For the meat layer
- 1 Tbs of ghee (or your favourite fat to use)
- 1 onion, cut into small pieces
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 35 oz. ground meat
- 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper
- Italian spices
For the cheese layers
- 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 14 oz. cream cheese
- 6 Tbs heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by making the noodles:
- Place the mozzarella cheese in a bowl, and melt it in the microwave for one minute. Stir and add it to the microwave again for a couple of seconds if not fully melted.
- When the mozzarella is melted, add the almond flour, baking powder and egg, and knead into a ball, until everything is incorporated and you have a nice ‘dough’.
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper onto a baking tray. Roll out the dough and shape into a rectangle, with a thickness of around 2 inches . Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 370 F.
- Set cheese noodles aside to let cool. While noodles are cooling, prepare your meat sauce.
- In a In a large skillet, add ghee, onion, garlic and ground meat. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Cook on medium heat until meat is browned. Drain excess fat from pan.
- Add in tomato sauce. Reduce to low heat and cook at a simmer for about 3 minutes.
Assembling Lasagna
- Evenly slice your cheese dough into thirds.
- Add a thin layer of meat sauce to the bottom of an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Add some shredded mozzarella and place a noodle layer on top.
- Add some cream cheese on top of the noodle layer and evenly pour 2 tbs of heavy cream on top.
- Repeat with meat sauce, mozzarella, noodle, cream cheese and heavy cream.
- Top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle on remaining mozzarella.
- Bake lasagna in the middle of your oven at 350F for about 20 minutes. If you wish to get some color on the top cheese layer, set your oven to a low broil (after the 20 min bake) and let the cheese bubble and blister for about 2 minutes.
- Let lasagna cool slightly before slicing and serving. If desired, sprinkle on some finely chopped fresh basil, oregano and parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.

Enjoy!
