Instructions to Culinary Glory
Now, put on your chef’s hat (or your favorite apron), and let’s whip this bad boy up!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the moment where we set the scene for our delicious drama.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it up until you’ve got a dough-like consistency. This is your low-carb lasagna noodle—how cool is that?
- Spread the almond flour mixture onto a lined baking sheet, about ¼ inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until it’s golden brown. Pull it out and let it cool—don’t burn your fingers!
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, spinach, and half of the mozzarella. You want a consistent blend of cheesy goodness—because who doesn’t love cheese?
- Now, let’s assemble! Start with a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Place down your first layer of almond flour noodles, then spread half of the ricotta mixture on top. Add a layer of pesto sauce.
- Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, topping it all off with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Crank up the cheese factor—there’s no such thing as too much!
- Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Your kitchen is going to smell like a cheese lover’s dream.
- Let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist), then slice and serve. Get ready to impress your dinner crowd with this dish that outshines traditional lasagna!
