                                5. Zucchini Lasagna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                Let\u2019s get real: lasagna without noodles sounds sad. But trust me, this one brings the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Using thin slices of zucchini instead of pasta cuts the carbs but keeps the layers of flavor. IMO, it\u2019s a must-have in any keto meal rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Pro tip:<\/strong> Salt the zucchini slices first and pat dry. It prevents that weird watery mess no one asked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
