Instructions:

To Make the Noodles:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a thin sheet, approximately 12×8 inches.
5. Transfer the noodles to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Let the noodles cool completely before assembling the lasagna.

To Make the Cheese Filling:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix until well combined.

To Make the Meat Sauce:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

To Assemble the Lasagna:

1. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Layer 2 of the baked noodles over the meat sauce.
3. Spread half of the cheese filling over the noodles.
4. Repeat layers.
5. Top with the remaining grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

To Bake:

1. Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

To Serve:

1. Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
2. Serve hot with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce.

Variations:

For a vegetarian lasagna, replace the ground beef with sautéed vegetables such as mushrooms, eggplant, or zucchini.
For a spicy lasagna, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
For a cheesy lasagna, add an extra layer of mozzarella or ricotta cheese to the filling.

Tips:

To save time, you can use store-bought low-carb lasagna noodles.
If you don’t have a pasta roller, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the noodles.
Let the lasagna cool completely before slicing and serving to prevent it from falling apart.
Store the lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
