Preparation method

Lasagna Sheets:

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Line a baking tray with baking paper and grease it with a little olive oil. Then heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the cauliflower rice. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry the rice within 4 minutes. Place the cauliflower rice in a clean tea towel and wring out all the moisture. Then add the cauliflower rice to a bowl with the eggs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well and spread the mixture on the baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the cauliflower lasagna sheets in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and leave to cool for 10 minutes after baking. Cut into 6 equal sized sheets and set aside.

Bolognese sauce and lasagna:

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Cut the onion and mushrooms into small pieces and crush the garlic. Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan and add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Cook for 1 minute until the onion starts to brown.

Then add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Add the minced beef and fry until done. Finally, add the tomato pulp, puree, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes without a lid. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the ricotta, egg and a handful of parmesan cheese.

Then take an oven dish and grease it with oil. Spoon a few serving spoons of bolognese sauce into the dish. Place a few cauliflower lasagne sheets on top and spread this ricotta sauce. Sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used up. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Cut the lasagna into four pieces and enjoy!
