I have been trying so hard lately to lower my daily carb intake, and lasagna just doesn’t fit into my new low-carb lifestyle….until now. This cabbage lasagna uses cabbage leaves instead of pasta, so it’s low in carbs and oh my goodness is it tasty!

What Makes This Cabbage Lasagna Low Carb?

If you have done any research on the topic, you know that pasta is a no-go if you want to avoid a lot of carbs. This cabbage lasagna recipe doesn’t use pasta, so the only carbs that you get are from the tomato puree and onions, and those are negligible amounts.

How To Make Cabbage Roll Lasagna Even Healthier

The cabbage instead of pasta makes this cabbage lasagna really low in carbs. If you wanted to lower the carbs even more, you could try:

  • Low Carb Marinara – Instead of the tomato puree
  • Onion Powder – Instead of onion
  • Italian Sausage – This is low in carbs too, but gives it a really different taste

What To Serve With Cabbage Lasagna

Of course, if you are doing keto, then traditional garlic bread is out as a side for this one. Instead, try:

  1. Cauliflower Cheese Sticks
  2. Side Salad
  3. Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
  4. Asparagus
  5. Roasted Cauliflower
  6. Any Steamed Vegetables

There are so many low carb recipes that are great for those of you who are following keto, or those of you who just want to lower your overall carb intake. This is a great way to lose weight, and this cabbage lasagna is the perfect dinner for the entire family.
