Ingredients
Lasagna Sheets
- 900 g cauliflower
- 4 eggs
- ½ tsp kosher or ground sea salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 40 g parmesan cheese, grated
Cheese Sauce
- 225 ml sour cream
- 125 ml heavy whipping cream
- 125 g (275 ml) shredded cheese
- salt and pepper
- 450 g ground beef
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 400 g crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp concentrated beef bouillon
- 125 ml red wine
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- butter, for frying
- Set the oven to 200°C.
- Chop onion and garlic finely and fry in butter in a thick-bottomed pot.
- Add ground beef and keep frying until cooked thoroughly. Add tomato paste in the pot and pour in crushed tomatoes.
- Season with bouillon, red wine, salt and black pepper and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
Lasagna sheets
- Place a parchment paper in a large baking pan and grease with oil.
- Grate a medium-sized cauliflower head in a food processor. The cauliflower should be finely grated.
- Place the grated cauliflower in a bowl and cook for two minutes on high in the microwave oven. Stir and microwave for two more minutes.
- Let the grated cauliflower cool and place in a baking cloth (towel) and squeeze the liquid out by tying and wringing the towel. Almost a cup of liquid has to come out for the rice to be dry.
- Put the cauliflower rice, eggs and spices in a bowl and stir them together.
- Spread the batter on to the parchment paper and bake on lower rack of the oven for about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Cut into adequate-sized pieces, like lasagna sheets.
Cheese sauce
- Bring heavy cream and sour cream to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Layering and baking
- In a deep baking dish add some bolognese, then sheets and cheese sauce. Alternate and finish up with cheese sauce and grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20–30 minutes and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
