Low-Carb Cabbage Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 0.5 cup grated carrots
• 4 ounces mushroom pieces
• 1 pound canned tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 head cabbage
• 24 ounces low-fat cottage cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• cooking spray
• 2 cups grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add carrots and mushrooms, then stir in tomatoes, breaking them apart with a fork. Season with basil, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, thyme, and nutmeg. Reduce heat and simmer the meat sauce for 30 minutes.
2. While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage leaves in the boiling water until limp, about 3 minutes. Drain the cabbage leaves thoroughly.
3. In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and oregano. Set aside this cheese mixture.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange a layer of cooked cabbage leaves on the bottom of the dish.
5. Set aside 1/4 cup of meat sauce. Layer half of the remaining sauce over the cabbage leaves, followed by half of the cottage cheese mixture and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers: cabbage leaves, remaining meat sauce, remaining cottage cheese mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Top with the reserved 1/4 cup meat sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving this delicious cabbage lasagna.
