Low-Carb Sausage Parmigiana
Who doesn't love sausage or cheese? In this terrific dish, I've keto-ized a familiar favorite making it low carb and oh-so delicious!
Servings: 5 servings
Calories: 410kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage hot or mild
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded or grated
- 2 cups oven-baked tomato sauce
Instructions
- This dish couldn't be any easier; you already did most of the work with the oven-baked tomato sauce found here. Just put 2 cups of this yummy sauce into the bottom of an oven-safe dish big enough to hold all the sausage.
- Cut the sausage into quarters, and lay them on top of the tomato sauce, pressing them down slightly.
- Bake in a 425-F oven for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with dollops of the ricotta, the mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Put it back into the oven for about 5 minutes until hot and bubbly!
- Serve with your favorite vegetable, and for the non-keto eaters, spoon a generous portion over cooked pasta.
Notes
Recipe Card Tips
- Check the sausage with a thermometer before serving. Sausage thickness varies by brand, so bake time alone isn't a reliable doneness test.
- Dollop the ricotta rather than spreading it. Dollops melt into pockets of cheese instead of forming one flat, dense layer.
- Read the label on store-bought sausage and tomato sauce if you're not making either from scratch. Added sugar shows up in both more often than expected.
