Erika has very fond memories of her Mum’s lasagne. I will say, her Mum does make a pretty awesome lasagne and it is often requested by Erika’s niece and nephew. Since lasagne is one of Erika’s favourite meals, she has been working on an easy keto lasagne recipe for a while now.
She has tried a few different versions, using different things as the sheets including zucchini, eggplant and konjac pasta sheets. None of these really gave you that real pasta feel. Until she tried the hearts of palm lasagne sheets. Wow, this is definitely the closest she has come to replicating the real deal.

Who doesn’t love lasagne?
We both LOVE lasagne and it’s one of those meals that we both grow up eating and loving. It has been one of those dishes that we have both missed and Erika has wanted to create an easy keto lasagne recipe for a long time now.
Recently, we went away with Erika’s family for a weekend away and the whole family asked Erika’s Mum to bring her lasagne. This is where we had a choice to make. Do we indulge in Erika’s Mum’s version or do we take our own keto version.
The timing was actually pretty good, as Erika was right in the middle of creating this recipe and needed to make it again for the photos. So, it was a no brainer, we would take our own keto-friendly version and enjoy that whilst everyone else enjoys Erika’s mums’ version.
What I love about this, is that we can still enjoy lasagne with our family and still keep our low carb lifestyle. I know it’s easy to feel like you are missing out at family functions, but if you can find a great low carb recipe of the same meal, it becomes a win win for you.

Tips
- We highly recommend using the hearts of palm lasagne sheets for this recipe as they make a big difference to the final product
- The lasagne sheets will easily tear when you are assembling to make the sheets fit your dish. Just pull down from the top and they will easily come apart where needed.
- When looking for a keto-friendly low carb pasta sauce we recommend looking for a sauce that has clean ingredients like the Keep it Cleaner brand or Rao’s pasta sauces.
- Make sure the cheese sauce has cooled completely before adding the egg yolks
Suggestions
- You can prepare the lasagne in advance up to the stage before it is ready to be baked. Just cover and refrigerate and then you can bake it when you are ready to serve it.
- This easy keto lasagne will reheat well in the oven. We have stored leftovers in the fridge for a few days and reheated in the oven for a very easy dinner

Great easy recipe which tasted even better the next day. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it
Looks delish! I just bought these ‘noodles’ so will try making lasagne this week. Do you need to precook the lasagne sheets or do you just use them straight from the pack? Thanks in advance!
Hi Christine – no need to prepare the hearts of palm sheets or precook them at all. Hope you enjoy your lasagne!
I just happened to have ground beef defrosting today and saw your recipe. The recipe was yummy and the white sauce was amazing! Serendipity 😋
Oh awesome! So glad you enjoyed it
