Yes, I succeeded! I made a delicious vegetarian lasagna that is also fairly low in carbohydrates because I didn't use lasagna leaves. And the taste of this vegetarian lasagna is really not inferior to a regular lasagna.

It's actually a coincidence that I combined this in one recipe. I just wanted to make a vegetarian lasagna, because I consciously want to eat less meat with the family. Something about choosing more environmentally conscious and the like 😉 .
When shopping I had already brought vegetarian hacked from the vegetarian butcher. Their vegetarian hacked ball is also very tasty, so I dared to try this one. When I got home, there were no lasagna leaves left, so I had to go back to the store. And there I came across pumpkin lasagna leaves! This is how my healthy lasagna was 'born' that is both vegetarian and low in carbohydrates.
I was inspired by a lasagna recipe that I have made in the slow cooker before, but that was not a vegetarian version. I also made this lasagna in the slow cooker. I personally like that better because the flavors can absorb so well and the lasagna remains wonderfully creamy. But of course you can also make this lasagna in the oven. Are you curious about my other slow cooker recipes?

If you want to make the lasagna even lower in carbohydrates, you can omit the bechamel sauce. I do recommend the béchamel sauce for the really good taste. You make it as I described in this lasagna recipe. Below I will give you the ingredients for the béchamel sauce that goes so well with this vegetarian lasagna.
Hint: The above book about easy weight loss with healthy and delicious food is highly recommended! You can find the book here .
As mentioned, you can also make this low-carb lasagna with vegetarian minced meat in the oven, no problem. You do the preparation as described above and also the build up as you can read with the slow cooker. But in an ovenproof dish that you have greased.
Preheat the oven to 200° and put the dish in the oven for about 40 minutes. Enjoy your vegetarian lasagna that is also low in carbohydrates!
For us it is a conscious choice to eat less meat. I like meat, but it's not really good for the environment. Now everyone else has to know for themselves, but I have resolved that we will no longer eat meat where possible.
This is not to say that we no longer eat meat, but if there is a good vegetarian alternative, I love it just as much. Good for us and better for the environment. If you are looking for more tasty vegetarian recipes for children, for example, take a look at my colleague Judith on her website.
