The �noodles� themselves are delicious on their own but pair that with a ton of cheese, meat and sauce�and OMG. That�s all I can say.
You�ll Need:
Noodles:- 2 eggs
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (I used half real parmesan and half dried)
- 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (130g)
- Pinch of each: majoram, thyme, rosemary
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups of lower-carb pasta sauce (I used �Classico Tomato Basil� but added some salt, splenda and basil to taste )
- 3/4 cup (90g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 tbsp 2% cottage cheese
- 1/3 chopped onion
- 1oz finely chopped green pepper
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Pinch of each: majoram, thyme, rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Noodles- Preheat oven to 375� Line a 9�13 baking dish with tinfoil sprayed with oil or parchment paper.
- In mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese and eggs.
- Next, add Parmesan cheese and spices. Mix to combine.
- Fold in mozzarella cheese and mix until well incorporated.
- Spread the mixture into the baking dish, forming an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- When the �noodles� are done baking, cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut into thirds. This makes three perfectly sized �noodle� layers for an 8.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 loaf pan.
- *NOTE: You can also make the noodles ahead of time and store them in your fridge or freezer!)
For The Filling
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, onion, peppers and your spices. Cook until the meat is browned.
- Drain excess fat from pan and add � cup of your sauce to meat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Putting It All Together
- Pour � cup marinara sauce into bottom of loaf pan. Top with the first �noodle� layer
- Layer a third of the ground beef mixture. Top with � cup mozzarella cheese and 3 tbsp cottage cheese, and cover with another �noodle� layer. Repeat these steps.
- Cover the top �noodle� layer with remaining ground beef, and mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle a little parmesan and basil over top. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
