1 h 45 min
Step 1
Finely dice the onion and garlic. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.Step 2
Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.Step 3
Remove the lid from the pan and add half of the Keto marinara sauce. Stir all well and, optionally, season with more salt or pepper. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.Step 4
Combine the ricotta, eggs, parsley, basil, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix until fully incorporated. If the mixture is too thick, just leave it at room temperature for 15 minutes.Step 5
Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish (10x7 inch). Spread one cup of pumpkin puree over the marinara sauce creating an even layer.Step 6
Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar over the pumpkin layer. Using a spoon or a spatula, gently press the cheddar into the pumpkin layer. Flatten the surface as evenly as possible with a rubber spatula.Step 7
Top with half of the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle one cup of shredded mozzarella over the beef layer, then add half of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with half of the parmesan cheese.Step 8
Repeat with the remaining ingredients, starting with the pumpkin layer and finishing with the ricotta layer. Optionally, add some more shredded mozzarella or cheddar and cover with the lid. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown.Step 9
Remove from the oven and cool slightly before slicing the lasagna. Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve. Optionally, sprinkle some shredded parmesan or chopped parsley on top. Optionally, serve with Greek yogurt.

I made this but it did not set up as pictured. I used packaged shredded cheese and this thing was so greasy I threw it away after one serving. I just couldn't eat this knowing how much oil was in this. I obviously screwed-up the recipe. On top of that, I could not taste the pumpkin at all. This may be Keto friendly but I don't think it is heart/artery friendly.

Absolutely delicious. This meal will now be a regular in our household. Presented well, held together and the pumpkin added some interesting colour for a meaty lasagne. Tastes even better the next day!

THANK YOU!! Delightful, joyful, comfort food at its healthiest, fragrant, surprisingly easy to put together, and a crowd pleaser 👏 . I followed the other reviewers' pointers about doubling cheese amounts 👌, definitely helps. I set it up to yield six portions, and still used two eggs, which I think helped keeping it together. In addition, I didn't have Ricotta but Queso Crema, doubled the amount, and OMG 😋 ! Also, I didn't have parsley but Cilantro, and it tasted amazing.

Can cottage cheese be substituted for ricotta?

This didn’t set up like it looks like in the pic for me. I scooped it into bowls rather since I couldn’t slice into pieces. Also agree on the ricotta comment you will need double what it calls for.
