A delicious keto lasagna with EASY homemade noodles! No pasta press required. These noodles are gluten, grain and sugar free!
Now I have made keto lasagna before with eggplant, but let’s be honest, as much as I liked that recipe, lasagna is always better with noodles. There’s just no denying it!
Buy my cookbooks on Amazon!!
I think these noodles are a great alternative to wheat lasagna sheets! If they are peaking out from the lasagna, it will get crispy (and we all know that’s the best part)
This flours I used are very similar to the ones I used for my breads but I had to add an egg for noodle consistency. Using water is not recommended.

So many people have asked in previous recipes, if you can replace the whey isolate – normally, in my bread recipes – I’d say no. However with these noodles, I think you can skip the whey if wanted and replace it with 1/4 cup (25g) of almond flour – so you are using 1 cup in total.
If you find the noodles are sticking when you roll them out – definitely sprinkle some whey or almond flour and rub it into the top of the noodles.
I hope you guys like these! I sure as heck LOVED this new keto lasagna recipe.

Keto Lasagna Noodles
A delicious keto lasagna with EASY homemade noodles! No pasta press required. These noodles are gluten, grain and sugar free!
Ingredients
NOODLES:
- 3/4 cup (75g) almond flour
- 1 scoop (25-30g) whey isolate
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 large egg
LASAGNA BASICS:
- 350g minced beef
- 1 cup tomato sauce - no sugar added
- 3/4 cup (200g) ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
NOODLES:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey isolate, salt and xanthan gum.
Crack in the large egg.
Use a spatula to mix it all together and use your hands to continue kneading it into a ball.
Roll the noodle dough between two sheets of parchment paper - dust with whey isolate if it is too sticky.
Make sure the dough is rolled to about 1/4'' or 1/8'' thin.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut out several rectangles the length of your casserole dish.
LASAGNA:
Over medium high heat, cook the minced beef until brown.
In a greased casserole dish, place a layer of noodles.
Follow it up with a layer of beef, then 1/2 of the tomato sauce, then the ricotta cheese followed by a layer of mozzarella mixture.
Place another layer of noodles.
Spoon on another layer of meat, then the rest of the tomato sauce & ricotta.
If you have any extra noodles, place it them on top and sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese.
Bake at 350°F/175°C for 25 minutes.
Enjoy!

Can I skip isolate whey in this recipe?
hey diane! above the recipe I explain you can use 1/4 cup extra almond flour if you are going to skip the whey 🙂
Can I substitute whey protein for whey isolate? I’m not sure what the difference is. ~ Sage
Yup! Theres not much of a difference! Just make sure it doesnt have any hidden flavours or sweeteners!
Hi there! What size pan do you use? 13×9 or 8×8?
8×8!
What size dish?
8×8
I’m astonished that this is 8 servings from an 8×8 pan! Each piece must be the size of a brownie!
I thought so too but it’s really filling!!
can i use this to make mac & cheese?
i think so?
Can you make these and store in the fridge until needed?
yup! i’d wrap it tight though!
I made these noodles for a traditional lasagna 2 nights ago and it is by far the best noodle replacement I’ve found. I’m SO sick of fathead dough. The only issue with these protein bread recipes is the cost of the protein powder. However, I think that you are a genius and these recipes are so good that the cost of the protein powder is worth it. If you buy any low carb breads from the many companies that make it now, they’re about $10-15 a loaf.
Could you run this dough through a pasta machine? Curious if I could make fettuccine or spaghetti noodles with this recipe. Thanks!
I havent tried but Im sure it could!
Hi. Just stared low carb living so still learning lots!! Do I have to cook the noodles (we calm them lasagne sheets here in the UK) before assembling the lasagna, as I would do with pancakes wheat lasagna noodles? Or do I just make, roll & cut the dough and later it uncooked? Can’t wait to try, sounds yum!!
Nope, just roll and cut and layer it uncooked! Hope that helps!
Thank you. That’s great.
I thought this recipe turned out very good. Both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised. The only issue I had was rolling out the dough thin enough to make enough noodles. I ended up making a second batch. But all-in-all, very satisfied and would definitely make again.
Could you make the noodles ahead and keep in the freezer?
I think that should be fine.
If I made fettucine noodles with this dough, would you boil them or bake them prior to eating them? If so for how long?
I probably wouldnt use them as noodles. Theyd probably break apart 🙁
I used this noodle recipe to make fettuccine noodles. Once they were cut I let them air dry for about 15 minutes (not sure if necessary but what my schedule required) and then I boiled for 1 minute. They were really good!
What was the texture like?
