DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream cheese and salt until it becomes a smooth batter. Gradually whisk in the psyllium husk, and then set aside for a few minutes.
Add the batter to the center of the parchment paper, and then place another parchment paper on top. Flatten with a rolling pin until the batter is at least 13”x 18.” If you prefer thinner pasta, you can divide the batter into two equal batches, placing on two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Bake each sheet (with parchment paper) for about 10 - 12 Minutes. Set aside to cool. Next, remove the paper and slice pasta into sheets that fit a 9x12” baking dish.
In a large pan, over medium high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, stirring until soft. Next add the beef, tomato paste and spices, and combine thoroughly, until the beef is no longer pink.
Add water to the mixture, bring to a boil and then lower the heat, and let simmer for at least 15 Minutes or until most of the water has evaporated. Since these lasagna sheets don’t soak up as much liquid as traditional ones, the sauce should be on the drier side. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x12” baking dish.
Mix the mozzarella cheese with sour cream and most of the parmesan cheese. Reserve two tablespoons of the parmesan cheese for final topping. Add salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
Alternately layer the pasta sheets and meat sauce in the baking dish, starting with the pasta, followed by the meat sauce.
Spread the cheese mixture on top of the pasta, and finish with the extra parmesan cheese.
Bake in the oven for about 30 Minutes or until the lasagna has a nicely browned surface. Serve with a green salad and your favorite dressing.
