Rich, savory layers you love — seasoned ground beef, melty mozzarella, creamy ricotta, and tangy marinara — but swapping the high-carb pasta for tender cabbage leaves.
Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Carefully peel the leaves off the cabbage head and boil them for about 20 minutes until tender and pliable. Drain and set aside.
While the cabbage boils, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt until browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Layer half the cooked cabbage leaves over the sauce. Spread half the ricotta mixture over the cabbage , followed by half the cooked ground beef. Repeat the layers: cabbage, ricotta, beef. Finish with the remaining marinara sauce and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing (this helps it hold together better).
